Security vs. Privacy Article

I both agree and disagree with this article. In many cases, security has gotten to the point where people’s freedoms and privacy are being unfairly taken away. I personally have never had any real problems with security, but many people I know have. However, in other cases, it is understandable how privacy is taken away for the sake of security. For example, security in airports is extremely tight and they do not hesitate to search either you or your bags, even if the reasons do not make much sense. But when many lives are at stake, it is understandable why people’s privacy will be taken away if they look even the slightest bit suspicious. While most people will complain and argue that it is unfair, I believe that in certain cases it is reasonable to have some privacy taken away in order to better ensure our safety.
