The document discusses how technology is advancing faster than laws and policies can keep up, especially when it comes to privacy protections. It notes that the original Constitution protected against unreasonable searches and seizures but that new technologies like GPS, cell phones, and data collection have expanded surveillance capabilities. If left unaddressed, this could threaten civil liberties just as past issues like Japanese internment during WWII and McCarthyism have shown. The document argues that laws and policies need to be updated to properly govern new technologies and protect individual privacy and civil liberties in the digital age.
