measures while protecting privacy rights,/as President Obama claimed when?he said that /he wants to “aggressively pursue enhanced screening?technology /consistent with privacy rights and civil liberties"?/And when?security is at stake and lives are endangered,/how much privacy are we willing?to sacrifice?
