The Digital Surveillance State

Constitutional lawyer and columnist Glenn Greenwald argues this month that the digital surveillance state is out of control. It's also failed to deliver on its promises of greater security. Rather than helping to find the needle in the haystack, we have only made the haystack bigger. In our new digital surveillance state, no one wins, except perhaps defense contractors.Commenting on Greenwald's essay will be Professor John Eastman, formerly of Chapman University Law School; Paul Rosenzweig, now of the Heritage Foundation and formerly Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy in the Department of Homeland Security; and the Cato Institute's own Julian Sanchez, a prolific journalist on the interface of technology and civil liberties.
