FBIs biometric database is now expanding to include eye
scans, palms prints, and facial recognition photos. This
database has cost the taxpayers one-billion dollars over the past eight years. While the database was built with primary goal of criminal investigation, it has come to light that criminals are not the only ones in the database. You could be entered into the system from simply submitting a photo with a job application for a background check. It seems, controversially the only people who will not be implemented into the system are employees of criminal justice agencies. While the FBI maintains that this system is needed for national security, citizens have been strongly opposed to this system, claiming it is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy that restricts our freedoms. One person even commenting, Well, looks the terrorists won.
How I re-wrote the story for my specific audience was first I read all three of the articles I chose on the subject. Next I scanned each article for points of particular interest to me, and facts that gave people the gist of the story. I combined information from all three articles and then blended them together, and re-wrote it in my own words.
1) (* ) I have not handed in this assignment for any other class. 2) ( *) If I reused any information from other papers I have written for other classes, I clearly explain that in the paper. 3) ( *) If I used any passages word for word, I put quotations around those words, or used indentation and citation within the text. 4) ( *) I have not padded the bibliography. I have used all sources cited in the bibliography in the text of the paper. 5) (* ) I have cited in the bibliography only the pages I personally read. 6) (* ) I have used direct quotations only in cases where it could not be stated in another way. I cited the source within the paper and in the bibliography. 7) ( *) I did not so over-use direct quotations that the paper lacks interpretation or originality. 8) (* ) I checked yes on steps 1-7 and therefore have been fully transparent about the research and ideas used in my paper.
