Abstract
<p>
The United States has gone through a rollercoaster in the balance
between individual freedoms and national safety throughout its
history. As usual in a capitalistic democracy, profits, immigration,
and other societal pressures have all factored in to the challenge.
After the tragic attack on September the 11th, the Bush
administration has called for, and received, increased powers to
listen to our conversations, look at our e-mail, and see who and
where we visit in cyberspace -- all with the stated intentions of
protecting us from terrorists. Even prior to 9/11, repeated calls for
increased powers for law enforcement resulted in ill-thought-out or
rushed ideas such as Clipper -- the key escrow proposals of not many
years ago -- and hastily adopted, potentially destabilizing schemes
such as the Carnivore e-mail monitoring system. Now more than ever,
the technical community has a vital role in maintaining the balance.
