Innovation’s Darker Future: Biosecurity, Technologies of Mass Empowerment, and the Constitution
Ben Wittes argues that in coming years, biothreats—especially those emanating not from governments but from individuals—present perhaps the most profound challenge to the Constitution and the nation’s most basic assumptions with respect to security. Wittes examines the continued proliferation of bioterrorism technologies and how that will lead to a significant erosion of the federal government's monopoly over security policy, and the consequences of that erosion.
