Owen Hill on Technology

 

 


NSA should have decent respect for privacy

Privacy / NSA: A decent respect for privacy is at the very core of our identity. Since Christopher Columbus, people came from all over the world who wanted to live their own lives without the intrusion of government. During the founding of our country, a respect for privacy was clearly stated in our Constitution and laid out in our Declaration of Independence as a reason for fighting the Revolution.

Today, our bureaucrats and politicians hide behind confusing law as an excuse to violate our reasonable expectation of privacy. Rather than standing on principle, they undermine our rights and throw up their hands like they are impotent to represent the people. It is high time we have politicians who will act as a check against the unconstitutional invasions of our privacy and fight for the ongoing protections of basic rights that our parents and grandparents fought to preserve.
