1. Government and private sector databases contain personal identifying information
and historical records about residents of the US. Proposals for a national
identification system arise regularly. Privacy advocates express concern about
potential misuses of a national identification system. Considering this information
with that from your textbook and external readings, please comment on the
following:
o Cite “pros and cons” stemming from a national identification system.
o Will the benefits of a national identification system countermand violations
of individual privacy invasive surveillance?
o Cite programs and systems in use today posing threats to personal privacy
and security.
o What are the implications for the long term storage and later use of historical
data?
2. Databases contain sensitive personal information about citizens and residents in the
U.S. (and elsewhere). In decades past, this capability was largely under the control of
the private sector. Insurance companies, credit reporting agencies, banks, and other
commercial entities regularly compiled this data and shared it “for business
purposes”. In the past, the threat to individual privacy stemmed from these sources
(because of the perceived lack of controls). As well, citizens and residents worried
about Governmental access to and abuses of privacy data. Today, we face different
challenges. Now, the Government can access Governmental and key private sector
systems easily stemming from integration efforts since 9-11 and the Snowden NSA
revealations. New initiatives for oversight and surveillance are proposed regularly.
This causes many to worry in our post 9-11/NSA environment that the Government
has too much power that is too easily abused or misused.
o Will privacy data matter in the future?
o Is it already too late to control invasions of our privacy given the explosion of
databases and surveillance technologies?
o Will we continue to waive our rights from monitoring every time we agree to
use a new technology?
For example: cell phones used to be solely radio-telephones. Now, they have GPS’ built into them
making them personal tracking devices of movements.
Example #2: future medical procedures will involve embedding novel technology devices in our
bodies for monitoring, healing, etc. Insurance companies may require us to grant them access to
all that we do with our bodies involving these novel tech. procedures to “cover their interests
about our qualification for insurability”).
3. Discuss a current case involving privacy.
