|
The Security Age is a term used by some to refer to the post-9/11 era, in which security has been increased in numerous venues, such as airports, government buildings, and international borders. It is commonly a critical reference to the level of security, and the need for its amount. Though security has drastically increased since 9/11, there were many security measures that were implemented in prior decades that can also be considered part of what some would call the "security age." Video surveillance Video surveillance has been around in widespread use for at least a few decades, though the amount has increased in urban areas since 9/11. While previously viewed as a crime-fighting tool, the addition of video surveillance in the post-9/11 era has often been justified as a terrorism prevention measure. Critics question whether or not video surveillance has the ability to stop a terrorist attack.
