For some, 'the question is not whether we will have a surveillance state in the years to come, but what sort of surveillance state we will have'. It may be essential to use these sources of information to provide national security. Many technologies today have location, time, and other metadata associated with them and this information can be exploited with hopes of stopping or decreasing illegal activities. The more people become dependent on technologies that enable spatial and temporal data access and collection, the more useful the exploitation of these technologies becomes to intelligence agencies. Advancements in technology have given rise to the internet, cell phones, drones, and real-time satellite and aerial imagery feeds. As nations continue to globalize and security threats from domestic and foreign sources increase, it is important to gather foreign and domestic intelligence. Many governments are in a sensitive situation where they must do enough to protect the public, while not infringing on citizen privacies. There has always been a delicate balance between security and privacy with respect to intelligence collection. Also presented are discussions on public opinion and whether or not digital intelligence collection are providing a safer environment for Americans. This paper reviews these alleged intelligence collection programs, as well as speciic laws set in place to protect privacy. While the concept of privacy is a complicated one, United States citizen privacy is protected by various policies and laws. Intelligence collection can aaect the privacy rights of citizens from any country. In recent years, government leaks have brought many alleged potential privacy violating intelligence collection programs to the public arena. will likely deploy, circa 2020, its evolving robotic regime-with a triple-canopy aerospace shield, advanced cyberwarfare, and digital surveillance-to envelop the earth in an electronic grid capable of blinding entire armies on the battlefield or atomizing a single insurgent in field or favela. With costs for conventional military occupations now becoming prohibitive, the U.S. While these military missions have skirted defeat if not disaster, the information infrastructure, as if driven by some in-built engineering, has advanced to higher levels of data management and coercive capacity. In the succeeding century, Washington's information infrastructure advanced through three technological regimes: first, the manual during the Philippine War (1898–1907) next, the computerized in the Vietnam War (1963–75) and, recently, the robotic in Afghanistan and Iraq (2001–14). internal security back to America's emergence as a global power circa 1898. Using a methodology that inserts the current controversy over NSA surveillance into its historical context, this essay traces the origins of U.S.
