Exercises 2.10-2.17

2.10-no this is not a violation because the child is not identified and neither is the individual school.
2.11- a. This is a good policy because it wouldn't be safe if someone can get a random number on the Web. This would be a privacy violation because if that person does not want someone to have their number they could easily do so. But, it could be very easy for someone to get a number that they really need which is convenient.
b. Making them available on the Web could change their use and impact because it would be easier to get the number but also it could be bad because their could be stalkers that could get their number and find where they live through that.
2.12-a. No because either way the employee was very mad and would have tried to find the files so they could publish them to the public.
b. Since this person found the files on a computer it shows that the computer was not password protecte and that this person got into the system very easily. If there was a password this person may have not been able to find the files.
2.13-a. The city might support the buisnesses not doing what they were asked to do as in pay their fee. The buisness owners might find this a privacy violation because they are being "broken into" because they are looking through their files to try to find something against them
b. I believe this should be permitted because the buisness owners need to learn that they need to pay their fee to the city if they did not do so.
2.14-I believe that this is wrong because if some people do not know what they are they dont want to be labeled as this. If the FBI or the IRS makes this data base they will be able to use this against the person if something like a murder happens because they will see their political side. And this is violating privacy rights because they can see their politcal views which are sometimes private like if marijuana and how they feel about it.
2.15-Some advantages of expanding the database would be that everyone can see the database and not have to feel like they are not a part of it as everyone else. Some privacy violations is that the people in the database believe that their info is only to the National insurance crime Bureau could see.
2.16-They might want the social security to make sure that the passenger is actually who they say they are. Some possible risks is that if their system was broken into all the passengers social securitys would be on that database and they would be able to see and maybe take them. This proposal is not a good idea because there are many risks with doing this. People could lose them and there could be problems if there was a hacker.
2.17-When the people at the airports can search you if you look suspicious is against the fourth amendment because it is a unreasonable search.
