and Customs Enforcement and TSA want to employ more of the devices, but costs remain an issue. This device is still experimental, but given its accuracy, it seems only a matter of time before we will be seeing these lie detecting kiosks at airports. One fact remains clear: surveillance is here to stay. With the increase of surveillance comes a decrease in individual privacy, but greater societal safety. Governments, local and federal, will continue to keep an eye on its citizens, as well as those who are trying to enter the country, in the name of public welfare. Sometimes in order to gain something, we have to give up something. In today’s world, we sacrifice some of our individual privacy so that we might gain greater safety from potential threats, both domestic and foreign.
