Drones: Fighting the War on Terror “Dozens of highly skilled al Qaeda commanders, trainers, bomb makers and operatives have been taken off the battlefield. Plots have been disrupted that would have targeted international aviation, US transit systems, European cities, and our troops in Afghanistan. Simply put, these strikes have saved lives” (Gerdau 1). These are the words of President Obama as he spoke on the effective use of the United States drone program. Drone operations have been in effect

for more surveillance is one that the film contributes to as well that for this to exist there has to be surveillance all around from people. With so much surveillance there are also those who try to defy it and the film shows how they do that. Surveillance is seen through things like fingerprints, face recognition, media files, and coordinate location. All of these things show how easy it is to track a target, but it also shows that such technology is changing to make surveillance easier to

No person is safe from surveillance these days with the expansion of technology. With prices dropping dramatically most consumers have at least one device with internet connection with some sort of camera attachment. From Snapchat to Facebook it is nearly impossible to avoid being captured unwillingly. The data collected by these applications are not limited to the photo itself but much metadata, such as the location and time, are stored. Government agencies may request this information and companies

Surveillance and the Right of Privacy Introduction to Surveillance: According to Merriam-Webster’s collegiate dictionary, surveillance is defined as a “close kept watch over someone or something (as by a detective).” Surveillance has been used ever since the days of, “Follow that cab!” From their primitive state, surveillance techniques and technology have evolved. Policing agencies no longer need to use methods of surveillance such as listening through walls, looking through windows and

result, target detection accuracy drops down and false alarm rate increases. Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for efficient and robust detection of camouflaged targets in MWIR spectral region, which is mostly used in reconnaissance and surveillance

documents revealing the NSA and FISC’s plans for mass domestic surveillance in the United States. His decision to reveal classified documents sent the nation into widespread outrage. The NSA had access to not only metadata (records of activity), but also content containing personal information that Americans rightfully assumed was protected by laws such as the Stored Communications Act (SCA) and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments Act

In 1984 the Thought Police placed telescreen monitors throughout public places including individuals homes allowing them to tap in at anytime to listen or watch citizens. The telescreen can only be be shut on and off by the government, ensuring surveillance can be in effect any time necessary. Today in the US, government agencies such as the National Security

CAAS’ Long Range Radar and Display System (LORADS) III, suited to meet the operational requirements of Singapore. This radar system has been operational since 16th October 2013, and costs more than $300 milion. This radar is based on Thales’ TopSky ATC system, one of the world’s leading Technology Company providing services for airspace security.

“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself -anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide” (Orwell 62). It means that the tactics of the Party’s surveillance and technology are so advanced that even the smallest actions they do, can betray them into a big problem

“If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” Theses dark and foreboding words from U.S. Army General Omar Bradley serve as solemn reminder of the impact that modern technology has had on war and how we wage it. But Bradley was referring to the controversy revolving around nuclear weapons in the nineteen-fifties. In world of today; however, the controversy lies in the use of drones. These remotely controlled planes can be used
