Signals Intelligence collection has had a profound impact in the modern era where concerns on the protection of civil rights and privacy are of significant concern. The use of mass surveillance systems coupled with the modern threat environment leaves many questioning on whether to clamor for more security or more protections against the invasion of privacy.
Assess and describe the ideal framework of Signals Intelligence in terms of what should be collected, retained, and reported on given the modern-day threat environment.
Question 2: Ethically, are there limits to what the SIGINT should collect, and report on? Who sets the standards? Should SIGINT be used to support domestic law enforcement? Etc.
