The Cold War asked the question in which the general public as well as the government decided where to draw the line in between a person and their own personal freedom & <em>personal space</em>, and the general public's safety. The Cold War saw extensive usage of spies and espionage, as well as counter-espionage tactics that included surveillance, counter wire-tapping, etc. With the government listening to almost everything a citizen says, it took away the sense of privacy. The trend is seen even today, where the US government's past record & capability to continue surveillance of the general public makes many wonder whether or not they really have "freedom".
