3 class hours, 3 credits. This course explores the social and political contexts, the implications and consequences of the scientific and technological issues in the security arena. For example, containers now coming out of a port terminal are scanned for radiation; what can the scanners detect and if radiation is detected, what does that mean? How would a city be evacuated in the event a nuclear device was detected? Another example of technology with far-reaching implications is that of biometrics; suppose everybody had their retina patterns in a national database? When is personal information too intrusive for government access?
