Security and Privacy in the US

wbm6k writes "The New York Times recently ran an article entitled, "In the Name of Security." The author basically summarizes the current governmental challenges to privacy (most of course already reported here at /.) and contrasts consumer fear of corporate information gathering with citizen willingness to accept government intrusions in the name of 'homeland security.'"

I would love to read this article about how my privacy is being taken away. But first I'll need to tell the NY Times my gender, age, zip code, income, and occupation. So what's worse, giving up privacy in the name of security, or giving up privacy to read about giving up privacy in the name of security?
