Is Homeland Security Worth Our Civil Rights?

Paper Summary:

In this paper, the author addresses questions that are being asked everyday by American citizens about homeland security. It asks whether the new policies developed in the wake of the 9-11 attacks are really making the country safer or whether they are just measures taken by the security forces to make the population feel safer.

From the Paper:

"Homeland Security was created as national effort to prevent terrorist attacks with the United States. It is used to reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism, while maintaining hope of minimizing the damage and recover from attacks that do occur. But according to a recent poll conducted by Gallup Organization ?Only 13 percent of Americans say they have confidence that the new department will make the nation "a lot" safer. Nearly 4 out of 10 Americans expect that the new department will not make the country any safer. "
