with all this terrosim happening in the world i believe that the government feels that they have permission to access information about anybody as they believe that it is for their countries safety. the government does not trust anybody, therefore the don't treat anybody's privacy and anonymity with care or respect.
 * How do you think that the events of terroism changed the ways the government treat people's privacy and anonymity?**

laws and regualtions about flights, such as not being able to contain more than 100ml of liquid (in australia), more security have increased in countries to prevent weapons and terroist attacks happening again. imgiration laws have changed making it more difficult for people to imgrate to another country especialy those who come from the middle east. journalists have restrictions on their reportage of some terrorism operations, new surveillance and interception powers jeopardising the confientiality of journalists' sources, and a reinvigoration of ancient sedition laws.
 * What laws have been changed that directly relate to this major terroist attack on the US?**

imgiration are able to keep track and investigate people imgrating into the country, with technologgy such as using GPS to follow where they go, or to search background information etc. secruity technology are used constantly so they can catch those who might be a possible threat to the country or going to try and do something illegal.
 * How has IT been utilised to uphold these changes in laws?**

privacy and anonymity won't be taken into consideration when the person is under inverstigation as the government and security will only see it as their right to protect the country and if it means to invade someon's privacy they will do it without a second thought.
 * How does this impact on an individual's privacy and anonymity?**

what dicussions made by the government are ethical? of course this is unethical, it should be up to the individual to give permission to let someone investigate them, with reduced amount of privacy i believe this is worse as it could mean that someone within the government could be the enemy and without others knowing it doesn't allow an individual investigate or intrude in their privacy. i believe the government are hypocrits they say they should be able to access info about everyone but when they are challenged and people want to access their info they will put a huge arugment up and won't accept or allow it.
 * Is this ethical, what do you feel about have reduced privacy?**

what i hear from my parents and grandparents and other family and friends, all have similiar opinons to me therfore i think majority of people feel the same way.
 * Do you think older generations feel the same, if not why?**


 * Certain people feel that Civil Liberties are more important than national security, please discuss this issue and provide a balanced unbiased arugment.**
