Border Wars, Individual Rights and Public Security


             Opposition of increased border security believes that rights are being taken away with the new tightened border security. One major topic being the full body scans at airports, a lot of opposition to the full body scan believes that it reveals too much of a person and that the screener can see every part of the person being scanned. Another major opposition to increased border security is the additional requirement to travel to and from Canada requiring a Passport. In the past, travel between the United States and Canada was easy due to the fact that all a United States citizen had to provide was a birth certificate. Many industries were also opposed to the increased border security between Canada and the United States because it slowed down delivery time on shipments of parts. For some industries like the automotive industry, it is essential for deliveries to reach a destination on time. The auto industry use the method of on time deliveries which means they only order a specific number of parts at a specific time so that the manufacturing plants do not have to store the parts. Manufacturing can come to a halt if the parts do not reach the specific plant on time. This could back up the entire manufacturing process of building a car and cause a chain reaction that could hold production until the shipment arrives. .
             Another point that the opposition makes is that the cost of the new security measures are too great and that they will be passed onto the consumer. Since time delays could be so costly, the companies would have to raise prices on their products. A big debate that has always come about is individual rights versus public safety, this is a debate that has gone on as long as the United States has been around and will continue to be a debate as long as our current democratic system remains the same. Many supporters of lower border security think that it should be the rights of the people to travel in and out of the country as they please and leaving it up to the individual.
