Ethics of the Terrorism Information Awareness Program
|
|
The
Terrorism Information Awareness Program was passed by Congress as a part of The
Patriot Act. Public awareness of this program, originally called The Total
Information Awareness Program, has led to much controversy and because of this
Congress has recently ended the program. The controversy surrounding this program
involves the conflicting values of personal privacy and the governments need to
provide security. A thorough examination
of these and other issues reveals the need for a policy to guide the decision
makers in the implementation of such a program.
