The battle against terrorism and organized crime has led some to advocate stricter police actions.

Discuss what law enforcement should be doing to protect U.S. citizens from future attacks. How can law enforcement agencies identify terrorists living on U.S. soil? What methods should be used to monitor terrorist activities?

Is it permissible or desirable for the police to utilize drones as surveillance tools?
