Definition changing for people's privacy
By PAMELA HESS
Associated Press Writer

A top intelligence official says it is time people in the United States changed their definition of privacy.

Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, says Donald Kerr, a deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that government and businesses properly safeguards people's private communications and financial information.

Kerr's comments come as Congress is taking a second look at the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act.

Lawmakers hastily changed the 1978 law last summer to allow the government to eavesdrop inside the United States without court permission, so long as one end of the conversation was reasonably believed to be located outside the U.S.

1. Social control requires changing definitions so that it can be accomplished.

Mission nearly accomplished. I thought top intelligence officials were supposed to be intelligent.

5. No, it's time for us to redefine security

It should mean that we have people working for us and protecting us from real threats, not people who consider themselves our rulers and us the threat.

6. Ok, how on earth do we rid ourselves of these horrid people?

7. The U.S. Constitution makes no provision for privacy.

So sayeth the Federalist Society.
