In today's globalized society, the war on terror has negatively
affected privacy rights not just in the United States, but
everywhere. When privacy rights are curtailed around the world,
American efforts to spread freedom and democracy are hindered, and
as a consequence, Americans are less secure in the world.
Ironically, the erosion of individual privacy rights, here and
abroad, has been happening in the name of enhancing national
security. This book sheds light on this apparent contradiction, and
argues that governments must do more to preserve privacy rights
while endeavoring to protect their citizens against future
terrorist attacks. It is easy to forget that prior to 9/11, privacy
rights were on the march. Plans were in the works, in the areas of
legislation and regulation, to protect personal privacy from both
governmental intrusion and corporate penetration. The need for such
protections arose from the swift advances in information technology
of the 1990s. But the attacks of 9/11, and the responses of
governments to this new level of the terrorist threat, put an end
to all that. Not only is privacy no longer emphasized in
legislation, it is being eroded steadily, raising significant
questions about the handling of personal information, surveillance,
and other invasions into the private lives of ordinary citizens.
