ABSTRACT
This chapter broadly discusses several civil rights which often intersect with security policy, namely: the freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. The remainder of the chapter uses the case study method to explore tensions between civil rights, privacy rights and burgeoning homeland security policy, highlighting in particular the “false tradeoff” between rights and security. A discussion of Korematsu v. U.S. is included as is an interview with John Esposito, Ph.D. on the post-9/11 experience of American-Muslims.
