Yes, because its ok if they only screw us a little now. They're the government, they won't make it even worse over time. We can trust them, right? They're really looking out for our interests, and not the paid lobby groups pushing useless scanner machines and constantly whispering nice shit in their ears to get their own laws passed, right? They won't pass CALEA, then PATRIOT under our noses, right? Won't insist that legal, private, law abiding citizens hand over their encryption keys to the government "just in case" right?
Hitler only wanted to kill a FEW jews at first, right? He only wanted to take over a FEW countries at first? So, this isn't as bad as nazism, and that makes it ok?
It's time we all stood up and stopped this bullshit before it gets any worse. Just like Germany should have done.

Until 9/11.
These bullshit, asinine security rules have negatively affected my life far, far more then any terrorist act ever has.
