Of course they were concerned about identity theft and credit scores, but that paled in comparison to the fear that was generated by events on 9/11, which opened the gateway for new levels of privacy encroachments and examination that many are not comfortable with in their day-to-day lives.

As Solove (2008) describes it in his article many individuals have chosen to accept an infringement on their privacy rights in order to be secure in the threat to terrorist activities.…
