What angers me, is the way discussion about this is made. Supporters of stuff like TSA discredit instantly any opposition, because TEH TSA IS FOR SECURITY, everyone who opposes it, let automatically terrorists go wild.
It's not even possible, to ask if this is even effective. How much crime, terrorism, bad things are prevented by this? Do we know? No, studies are for pussies. Instead if you oppose TSA, it is compared with a proven useful measure, like cops. And another point is the balance between interests. Does TSA prevent more crime, than it does restrict freedom? What is the more important value here? Both are important, you have to see which one is impacted how much in which direction to really decide about it. Police is a proven useful instrument against threats. And police doesn't impact freedom as much as something like TSA (at least if useful restricted, like done in most democratic countries).
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin
