...constitutional amendment, he proposes laws carefully drawn to limit access to personal-data computer banks, to end both public and private use of lie detectors and personality tests unless the subject freely consents and to confine surveillance to what can be actually seen and heard with the unaided human eye and ear. Well aware that society sometimes has legitimate reasons for snooping, Westin would allow exceptions under specific conditions...
