Naomi Wolf has argued that the first step to an authoritarian state is to conjure a terrifying internal and external enemy, such as "terrorists". Cameron Stewart seems to have bought into this idea of an eternal enemy in stating, "[US citizens] are willing to pay that price to maintain security in the era of terrorism."
An era implies a distinct period of history with a particular feature or characteristic: it has a beginning and an end. As Bruce Fein (of the American Freedom Agenda) noted, "there will be no defined end"... to terrorism, in part due to the expansion of the definition of terrorism itself.
Looking from high above, spying is an act of distrust. Distrust divides. I believe humanity should seek to unify its nations; we have much untapped potential, and spying will only delay us from reaching the stars.
People seem to forget that at present time humanity has no backup.
