From the Paper:
"Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every website you visit and e-mail you send or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip you book and every event you attend "all these transactions and communications will go into what the Defense Department describes as "a virtual centralized grand database"". To this computerized dossier on your private life from commercial sources, add every piece of information that [the] government has about you" passport application, driver's license and bridge toll records, judicial and divorce records, complaints from noisy neighbors to the FBI "your lifetime paper trail plus the latest hidden camera surveillance" and you have the supersnoop's dream: a "Total Information Awareness" about every US citizen" (Krigg 2) This serves as just one example of the many acts that were passed due to an increased desire for national security."Cite this Persuasive Essay:
