After 9/11, the federal government took many actions to prevent another terrorist attack. Whether or not these actions led to more protection or simply invasion is up for debate.

Post 9/11, the US government captured over 600 prisoners of war and detained them at Guantanamo Bay. Without following the Geneva Convention, these prisoners were tortured and held without a trial.

The Patriot Act was also passed by Congress and President Bush. This act allows for any citizen's information to be taken by the government on the premise that it is related to terrorism- no search warrant required

Also, in the aftermath of 9/11, airport security was cleared to use full body scanners that show the passenger's bodies in full, naked view.

The airport security tactic bothers me because there are other options. technology was offered that showed the bodies as big blobs, just as effective but less invasive, yet the government chose the graphic one. I think that is a clear invasion of personal privacy. I therefore oppose this change
