ABSTRACT

Those interested in a higher level of privacy protection should challenge the notion that the right to privacy protects only that which occurs in private. Certainly in informational privacy, which covers personal information about ourselves, most of what we try to protect has been disclosed previously elsewhere. In communications privacy, which covers correspondence and conversations with others, those communications are exposed to strangers in the normal course of business. However, they are still protected. In physical privacy, which protects our bodies and living space and our present location, we are seeking to protect domains that are visible to the public quite often.
