Nuclear physics is shortly experiencing a thrust in the direction of basic phy sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in trying out past trendy stan dard types of particle physics. the quest for finite neutrino lots and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote many of the efforts to check trendy theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .

In that sense and in an indirect way, people are protected against government actions. Although more or less all constitutional freedoms are related to privacy, this type of privacy right is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. In particular it must be derived from three amendments: the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth. The First Amendment protects the freedom of expression, religion, and assembly. The freedom of expression assures the unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social change by the public [19].
The use of new technologies were incorporated and included which in turn permitted governments to use these powers and formalize its roving powers. In general, the result was a weakening of data protection regimes, an increase in data sharing, and an increase in profiling and identification [14, p. 25-27] of individuals. As we have seen, information is power and since the terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid, and London this type of power over citizens is becoming more and more a reality. Information is seen as one of the most important weapons in the battle against terrorism and crime.
It is, however, not only the omnipresence of technique which is frightening but also the sheer lack of awareness of its usage. One of the most impressive examples is the way data can be collected from the internet. Cookies and more general spyware are used to collect data without our knowledge. And this lack of transparency increases once data are used. Although in many case we know the purpose of the use, we do not always know for sure whether the actual use is as indicated. Responsible for this lack of transparency in data mining is making clear the distinction between data and information.
