and espionage. Whistleblowers are guilty of neither. Glenn Greenwald, journalist and former constitutional lawyer, vehemently defended Edward Snowden against the espionage charges, declaring “[Snowden] could have - but chose not - sold the information he had to a foreign intelligence service for vast sums of money, or covertly passed it to one of America's enemies, or worked at the direction of a foreign government. That is espionage. He did none of those things” (Greenwald). Since…

Nothing was ever the same when I turned on my computer that morning, and I made a decision that would change the very course of history... It began as a typical day; soldiers parading down the streets, gray skies above... I turned on my laptop and opened my browser, but then an icon popped up at the bottom of my screen. "Informer97 has requested to chat with you" I glanced at it for a brief moment, and I didn't recognize that screenname... Nonetheless, I turned it on to see who it was and…

The earpiece in Sonea's ear crackled, as if the transmission wasn't quite getting through. She gave it a tap and heard 'Bogeyman's' voice. "Raven, you've got someone coming your way. Grab the doll and let's get out of here." The question was, could it be that easy? What kind of security might the doll have. She knew if she was going to hide some expensive and hard to access tech in there, she'd sure as hell be alarming the item or aiming a laser or two in the general direction for good measure…

nature. It wasn’t until we’d been briefed by Dr. Rachel Ackerman that we found out that whatever it was that they were working with must clearly be hot, and may have made it out of the lab and out on to the grounds of the island.

The argument made by David Morris in FBI Will Help Local Police Unlock iPhones is that now that the FBI has the ability to crack into the data stored on iPhones, the agency will utilize this capability in many situations, including local law enforcement cases and federal counter-terrorism cases. More specifically, Morris argues that there will be an increased number of iPhones that are broken into in order to investigate crimes. He writes, “The agency has since unlocked other phones, and, CBS…

One of the topics I am interested in writing about in my research paper is the concept of surveillance and how people are constantly watching others in order to keep control of them. The ideas I plan to talk about are how different characters are being watched by others and how they react to the feeling of a person always watching them. A quote that relates to the how people are being watched is, “The trust is that she is my spy, as I am hers. If either of us slips through the net because of…

Existing regulations for drones: Until recently drone that were sold to consumers were not regulated (Pomerleau, 2015). What that means is that the FAA had not released any information on how the use of a drone, by a member of the general public could be used, what the general public shouldn’t be used for, and also what the punishments would be should a consumer choose not to follow regulations (Pomerleau, 2015).
