Privacy and Security

The issue of privacy and security on the internet has always been a candid issue. This is because many people feel insecure of freely surfing the internet without having the government or other entities focused on what people are doing. Some people have learned that relying on the U.S government is sometimes not a good option,  especially if you work for the government like General David Petraeus. Acording to the article, How metdata brought down CIA boss David Petraeus, " While the FBI was monitoring an email account that was reportdedly the source of some harrasing emails it found a series of IP addreses  recorded when a user is logged on to a hotel WIFI."This shows that not even a high ranking official is not safe with internet  privacy. But according to Ian Goldberg, a comouter scientist at the University of Waterloo, " Tor project, which runs privacy software that is popular with internet activist could have saves Petraeus and Paula Broadwell from being discovred." I think that this Tor Project conducted by Ian Goldberg should be implement more by in order to protect privacy right of everyindividual in the country, but most importantly respect the 4th amendment of the constitution.
