Join us for a very important program that seeks to better inform the public, lawyers, and national security practitioners about the respective concerns associated with the collection of foreign intelligence.
Using a panel discussion format, we intend to expand the dialogue on privacy, security and personal freedoms, addressing a rapidly changing threat environment where our adversaries are exploiting social media, risk detection is shifting from static to data content and how the rule of law and personal privacy cannot be forgotten in any debate.
Welcoming Remarks
Panel 1: How a National Security Investigation Begins
Panel 2: National Security: The Relevant Laws, Cases, Structure and Process Defined
Understand the organization of the Intelligence Community, the roles and responsibilities of the key players and the overlap between regulators and law enforcement. Hear about relevant laws, key cases and the applicability of the U.S. Constitutional amendments.
Panel 3: DATA (Big Data, Metadata)
What is the definition of data? What data is being collected? Why is it being collected and what is done with it?
Panel 4: Privacy: Expectation of Privacy; What is It?
What is the definition of privacy under the Constitution, state and federal laws? Has technology changed the way we think about privacy? Do generational differences affect the expectation of privacy?
Panel 5: Snowden Disclosure and the Response by Intelligence Community, Media and Public
Gauging the reactions from the Intelligence Community, the media and the general public.
Panel 6: Balancing Counter-terrorism, National Security and Safety
Review the purpose of Foreign Intelligence Collection and whether a choice must be made between privacy and security.
Panel 7: Critique of the Current Application of Rule of Law
What are the current shortfalls and problems? Are there possible actions? What are the possible reforms?
Panel 8: Impact of Government Surveillance Programs on General Practice
