“Since Sept. 11, our government has acted as if security and privacy were an either/or proposition. In other words, an increase in one causes a decrease in the other. Like a seesaw, if one side goes up, the other side must go down.  As federal security consultant Ed Giorgio stated several years ago in a widely quoted New Yorker article, ‘Privacy and security are a zero-sum game.’ Apparently, in order to be more ‘secure,’ we must accept less ‘privacy.’ That includes allowing increased warrantless surveillance and scrutiny by the government.  So is the government’s argument sound?”
