Post 911 and Privacy 03: An Overview of Legislation of the 109th Congress

  During the 109th Congress brought some important post 911 including the following Acts, Consumer Data Security and Notification Act, Information Protection and Security Act, Security and Freedom Enhancement Act.  and   The USA Patriot and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act. Once again we see as the post 911 legislation got into full swing many new Acts and laws come to the forefront of the nation. Each time security measures are enacted the rights of the citizen to privacy becomes threatened and left on the back burner. The reasoning for this new wave of legislation has been based on the thought that it is allowable to strip the citizen of his privacy if it allows for a better protection of the nation as a whole.
