Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the U.S. military has been taking on more domestic security responsibilities. Fighter jets patrol the skies over U.S. cities, and there have been temporary troop deployments in the airports and on the Canadian and Mexican borders. The Pentagon has also shown a disturbing interest in high-tech surveillance of American citizens. What is the proper role of the military in homeland security? Is it time to relax or tighten the legal restrictions governing the use of soldiers in domestic policing? Please join us for a panel discussion that will explore these issues.
