I've nothing to hide, and it is most upsetting to me.
It has been a common argument of despots throughout history that"...You have to break a few eggs to make an omlet..." In other words, the ends justify the means. And if a society is willing to sacrifice the freedoms that have been its foundation for more than two centuries in return for a modicum of security, then they deserve neither.
If the Bush administrations "Homeland" security strategies are carried out to their logical conclusion, then the terrorists will have won. America will be a police state, the world and we lose.
