Privacy in peril: Behind closed doors

Article Abstract:

Privacy was a major area of concern during the 17th century when England began regularly issuing 'general warrants' authorizing searches of houses without any proof that owners had done anything wrong and without even naming the object of the search. At that time, the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, citizens' primary protection against unreasonable government searches, banned the general search warrants after the US declared independence from England in 1776.

Privacy in peril: Good-bye privacy?

Article Abstract:

Some scholars have predicted that the concept of private data would disappear, as new means of electronic data gathering is continuing to proliferate. Computer databases and electronic-surveillance devices such as radio-frequency identification devices (RFIDs) are spreading so fast that privacy would soon become a forgotten concept.
