... but most
people will take that tradeoff. I know I sure will. "Give me Liberty or give me Death" is not just a cute sound bite to me.

Unfortunately, some people won't. I was with my mother in Gatwick Airport at the height of the liquids scare in the summer, and we were discussing whether the security measures were actually either worth it or effective. I told her the famous quote:

"Those who would give up Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." ~ Benjamin Franklin

And she replied "Are you sure you remembered that quote right? Surely that's the wrong way round?"

I couldn't believe my ears.
