Once the decision is made to buy into the idea of trading freedom for the illusion of safety it becomes impossible to convince someone it does not work. If nothing happens clearly the restrictions are working and the trade off is worth it and the person is safe. If something goes wrong then clearly what is needed is to restrict freedom further. It’s a slippery slope. It would be so much better to remove the reasons for terrorism in the first place, but that would require a restructuring of, well, of everything. Clearly it is easier and more comfortable to evoke righteous indignation and continue to take freedom away. And it does have a kind of sense about it. i mean if a country is going to continue pissing people off around the globe, people who generally have limited ways to bring attention to the abuses perpetrated against them, it only seems fair and logical that this country make an attempt to keep its citizens safe. Especially since not pissing people off around the world by perpetrating or supporting abuses against them is apparently not an option.
