wyndhy,

The right to privacy varies not only by country, but also in time. That may be the reason that there is no right to privacy in the U.S. constitution, they didn’t think it appropriate. The Supreme Court did not explicitly rule that one existed until Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965.

Incidentally, while the sentiment "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." is one we both buy into, you may find the link interesting.

What foreign policy changes do you think might help?
