Right now we have a golden opportunity that we are rarely afforded by our gridlocked political system: A true, full, broad and deep national debate on what we want as far as a balance of security, privacy and convenience. Yes, it’s a three-cornered debate, not just the two (security and privacy) being held up to scrutiny by much of the media. And since this level of internal scrutiny was established by President George W. Bush and perpetuated by President Barack Obama, it’s pretty much a wash politically.
