"Watching You" UpFront Magazine

"Watching You"

                     I recently read the article "Watching You " by Patricia Smith. I thought I could reflect on some of her ideas and information she mentioned in her article. The article "Watching You" is about how the government is able to listen in on phone calls, e-mails, and text messages. There are many privacy concerns, but, they can save many lives. If you ask me for my opinion, it would be YES.

                    I would say yes because America has faced many tragedies. For example, 9/11 and Boston Bombing that took place in 2012. These events could've been 100% stopped. If the government looked in on the phone calls to blocked numbers and e-mail to wanted people, we would all be safe. I'm pretty sure 9/11 and the Boston Bombings took a lot of planning to make it happen. An Al Qaeda member was stopped on a train in 2006 and was carrying a bomb, these tactics stopped it.

                  In conclusion, I feel that the government should be able to look through phone calls and e-mails and texts. What if you were on that train?, What if your loved ones were on that train? So, what do you think?
