HSE 400 Critical Thinking

Week 7

Listed below are topics I would like you to discuss. Refer to the textbook, weekly materials when researching the topics for this Discussion Forum.  Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source. Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you begin posting.

Read the following scenario, then answer the questions below.

Scenario:  You are arriving at an airport and you are confronted with the new biometrics identification system. 

· Is the process violating your fourth amendment rights?

· What if you are a foreign national, does that make a difference in the possible rights violations?

· Does the United States- through the TSA and CBP- have the right to conduct pragmatic searches (search without having to show probable cause)?

· What would be your recommendation to better protect the United States from possible terrorist attacks through the air if biometrics is found to be unconstitutional?
