introduction
Imagine a world where the threat of terrorism is almost completely obsolete, and the only place that war existed was in history books. Imagine a perfect utopia where deaths by terrorist attacks are completely eradicated from the face of the Earth. Imagine a world of international cooperation, where pinpointing radical threats is top priority. This isn’t just a typical far-fetched Big Brother scheme – it may even be able to exist today! In order for this utopia to even come into imagination, the world needs surveillance agencies such as the National Security Agency. The NSA is the most effective way to detect, analyze, and destroy potential terrorist attacks, leading to a more safe and convenient nation. However, it must access Americans’ electronic communications in order to function properly. It is necessary for government agencies, such as the NSA, to tap into its citizens’ mobile and/or electronic devices in order to gain the necessary information pertaining to national security.
