I'm going to read you two statements about e-government and homeland security, and please tell me which one you agree with more. Statement A: It is appropriate for the government to search its existing databases, such as those for Social Security, because information in those databases could help the government track down and catch terrorists and preventing terrorism should be a top priority. Statement B: It is not appropriate for the government to search its existing databases, such as those for Social Security, because those databases contain personal information about millions of innocent Americans and protecting their privacy should be a top priority.

Which comes closer to your view--the methods are justified or the methods are not justified?
