Re: Safety vs Security

It's not a choice.

The basic premise of being able to stop all bad actors prior to some event occurring is flawed.

Given this inescapable fact, we accept the risk and live a possibly shorter but definitely freer life.

The alternate is to live in servitude, and there is no safety in that condition.

You might disagree about the word "servitude", and I ask you to consider how under effective blanket surveillance, we'd ever strike down an unjust law again?
