商品簡介
This collection of essays presents an array of perspectives on the changing status of privacy and issues of security. Several essays challenge assumptions or conclusions of the others, such as those who argue that video-surveillance makes us safer and those who add to that "but at what cost?" The essays are organized in six sections. After an overview, they focus on forms of surveillance technology and strategy: video-surveillance, border searches of electronic devices, wiretapping and other legally questionable backdoors, GPS monitoring and location tracking, and a final section on privacy on the internet. Several contributions are statements and excerpts of testimony by experts that were presented in official hearings. The contributors are journalists and legal analysts concerned with privacy and security issues, including Glenn Greenwald. This book is not indexed. Distributed in the US by Books International.
