Security Board

As we have seen in the last several years, the risk of damage to our person and property continues to increase. Many people have opted to use audio and video surveillance in order to combat safety threats, both real and imagined. Currently, President Bush is trying to push a measure that will give retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that release the private phone records of their customers. Many municipalities are also adding surveillance cameras in public areas like town squares and traffic lights. While these add a measure of security, our lives become less and less private. While some people may not mind being watched and heard 24 hours a day, there are some people who feel that this is a gross invasion of privacy. On what side of this argument do you fall? Which do you feel is more important: Privacy or Security?

I agree but feel that the the issue with the Phone records is an entirely differant topic than video survelance security.

In our countries legalalistic enviroment merchants are faced with being sued if they do not have a surveilance system in place and something were to happen to a customer or employee on their property.

Unfortunatly our countries frivoulous lawsuit mentality has forced the Big Brother scenario to become a full blown reality.

Since the 911 attack our government has been able to use fear tactics to take away even more civil libertys in the name of our suposed safety
and has encouraged more security via media comunications with the public. (Such as the phone record issue)

unfortunatly the only people who are scared are the religious nut jobs who want the end of the world to happen so Their savior can return.

I am more scared of the above mentioned wackos than any thing else on our planet.

The reason why we have cameras all over the place is because we are unaware of the danger impose upon us that is heading our way faster than we think. It is even more scarer than religious fanatics or any government agency out there or aliens for that matter. It is the unseen unbelieve giant monster that exist in our world that only comes out at night time. Our security cameras are meant to capture raw images of these foes so to allow us to prepare a counter measure just in case they attack - yeah.
