You Can Ensure Privacy and Security
by Kathleen Carroll
Security and privacy share a common goal - the protection of individuals and in many cases, the protection of individuals' information. When there is a security breach, there can be a breach of privacy as well. The debate around security and privacy arises because sound security practices may not necessarily produce sound privacy practices.
Witness the national debate on wiretapping and intelligence gathering. While these practices may enhance security, they may do so to the detriment of privacy. But they don't have to if privacy concerns are considered before implementing any security program or technology.
The consequences of not building privacy into security solutions may prove costly to the security industry. For example, legislation has been introduced in several states that would impose onerous requirements on those implementing security technologies, such as radio frequency identification, biometrics (including facial recognition software) and security video. These legislative solutions to the issue of privacy are absolute. Ignored are facts well-known in the security industry, such as the need for a layered security approach or a security risk analysis.

Not so much in this country, but in other places - Madrid, London, Mumbai - bad guys blow up trains because that's where people are. Some say it's only a matter of time before somebody tries to blow up an American train.
What's holding up progress?

Better 'Armed' Warriors Deserve Better Centralized Security, Intelligence Help
The November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks -coupled with sustained jihadist threats globally, domestic extremist threats in the United States, and natural disasters - confirm the need for the establishment of a federally-organized homeland security undergraduate resident academy/university (HSUA), which was proposed in the December 2008 issue of Security Magazine.
