The NSA Continues to Violate Americans' Internet Privacy Rights | American Civil Libert... - 1 views

  •  
    You are still being watched, and your data being collected, so be careful what you send and to where you send it too. Innocent messages sent out of the country can easily make you become a person of interest for no reason.

Surveillance Under the Patriot Act - 3 views

  •  
    Focusing on the consequences of the Patriot Act and how the US government upped the security on civilians after 9/11, this is a really nice graphic that gives a scary visual on the expanded powers of the national government in the name of security. It's from the ACLU, so this gives a pretty good perspective of, specifically, curbed liberties.

Do governments need access to encrypted messages to thwart terrorism? | PBS NewsHour - 4 views

  •  
    PBS interview showing two sides of the security vs. privacy debate as it applies to the recent attacks in Paris, and all current issues of terrorism and a lack of information even with warrants. Gives a lot of good quotes from reputable sources that can be used to strengthen and support arguments.

NSA debate takes new turns after Paris attacks - 4 views

  •  
    Privacy advocates are pushing back against arguments from the intelligence community that more surveillance powers would have prevented the deadly Paris terrorist attacks. They're offended at what they see as naked opportunism from supporters of tough surveillance powers and argue the rhetoric - including suggestions that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has blood on his hands - has gone too far.

Schneier on Security - 1 views

  •  
    A well-reasoned argument from our favorite security blogger, with plenty of links to help us in writing our final paper. It is also an interesting article as it talks about the debate before Snowden, Wikileaks, and other whistleblowers.

Republicans are coming for your browsing histories, not your guns | VICE News - 0 views

  •  
    Senator John McCain has filed an amendment that would allow the FBI to retrieve email metadata and web browsing history without warrants. He's proposing we expand use of National Security Letters, which get around the need for warrants and often come with gag orders, so that if you receive an NSL asking for data, you can't tell anyone about it.

5 Gmail lessons from Petraeus affair - POLITICO - 1 views

  •  
    I got the General Petraeus story a bit wrong. He and his friend weren't using Google docs to communicate, they used a shared Gmail account. They would sometimes draft, but not send emails, as an extra measure of security, but, as this article points out, that doesn't work.

Walk the Walk: Gait Recognition Technology Could Identify Humans at a Distance - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting how this article talks about the gait analysis being used for catching terrorists, while in Little Brother, it was used to keep track of the high school students. The technology is not quite ready to be used, but seems to be much more reliable than the gait trackers in the book.
  •  
    Georgia Tech Research Institute is making gait recognition technology a reality. "The ultimate goal is to detect, classify and identify humans at distances up to 500 feet away under day or night, all-weather conditions. Such capabilities will enhance the protection of U.S. forces and facilities from terrorist attacks."
