Safety precautions or intrusion of privacy?

Tomorrow's technological advances in security and surveillance will no doubt eventually make the would a safer place but at what cost?Camera phones, nanny cams and satellite photos are common things by not right? What about an artificial nose that can detect traces of explosives in someone's hair,smart cameras that identify people by the way they walk or the shape or their ears, or a chemical analysis of sweat, body odor and skin flakes in the thermal halo that surrounds each person?All these projects have been fast-tracked since the events surrounding 9/11.Rapid DNA-based probes may help us from bioweapons or diagnose diseases but at the same time might reveal too much information to health insurers or potential employers.Is it worth it?Do we need to feel that protected?
