Peter Jennings: No Place To Hide
CMS DVD0242
This is a report about one of the most important and least understood results of the tragedy on September 11th. In a one-hour primetime special, ABC News anchor Peter Jennings examines the government's effort to harness technology in the name of security, and the price we might pay if we fail to balance security and freedom in the digital age. It's getting harder all the time to be lost in the crowd, but the ever-present video cameras in our daily lives are only a small part of the story. Today an overwhelming number of our daily transactions can be electronically monitored by private companies, the results of which are very often sold to or otherwise absorbed by the government. The most amazing artificial intelligence programs sift through our data trail to make judgments about us - and detect unusual behavior. "Peter Jennings Reporting: No Place to Hide" is a collaboration with The Center for Investigative Reporting and Washington Post staff reporter Robert O'Harrow. Peter Bull is the producer of "No Place to Hide." Tom Yellin is the executive producer of "Peter Jennings Reporting."
