Can Civil Liberties and Homeland Security Achieve Balance? The terrorist events of September 2011 changed the way the U.S. handles security. Public civil rights and national security were affected as a result (Wong & Lovelace, n.d., p2). In efforts to combat terror acts, the Bush administration initiated the covert surveillance program, for example. The program has elicited debate over the years as regards the right to privacy of American citizens. The Bill of Rights is a fundamental component of the American constitution. The national security of the country and its people has to be upheld as well.  In its efforts to do so, civil rights must not be infringed. It is, however, essential to note that without national security, civil liberties cannot be fulfilled. The public would not enjoy freedoms that are currently enjoyed if the country was under siege (Holmes, 2001). In this regard, there is a need to strike a balance between civil rights and security measures. Challenges Protecting the public from terrorism involves search and seizure protocols. The Fourth Amendment is clear on search and seizure protocol…

Deep vein thrombosis Deep vein thrombosis often occurs in the lower extremities in the calf veins, specifically in the soleus sinusoids and valve cusps. It is prevalent when blood flow is compromised in the veins due to either intrinsic or extrinsic factors such as accident injuries and surgeries (Di Nisio, van Es & Büller, 2016). Three factors are crucial in thrombus development, according to Rudolf Virchow. These comprise, firstly, venous stasis, which obstructs the venous blood flow, thus increasing viscosity and driving to the development of microthrombi. These microthrombi are not readily removed by fluid movement past the valves when skeletal muscle pumps, causing thrombus to thrive and propagate. Secondly, the Virchow describes that the imbalance between circulating factors might lead to the hypercoagulable state in the vein, particularly in the calf veins due to an increase in circulating tissue activation factors alongside the reduction in circulating plasma antithrombin as well as fibrinolysis (Othieno, Okpo & Forster, 2018). The third factor described by Virchow is a vein or endothelial damage which can either be intrinsic or result from external trauma…
