Surveillance or security?

Focuses on the possibility of creating serious security risks by housing wiretapping within communication infrastructure and whether widespread communications surveillance enhances or endangers national security. Landau explains that understanding whether building wiretapping into communication infrastructure keeps us safe requires that we understand the technology, economics, law, and policy issues of communication surveillance technologies. She offers a set of principles to govern wiretapping policy that will allow us to protect our national security as well as our freedom.
