Since 9/11, approximately three things have potentially improved airline security: reinforcing the cockpit doors, passengers realizing they have to fight back and—possibly—sky marshals. Everything else—all the security measures that affect privacy—is just security theater and a waste of effort.

The debate isn’t security versus privacy. It’s liberty versus control.

Вот ещё кусок:

It should be no surprise that people choose security over privacy: 51 to 29 percent in a recent poll [...] If you set up the false dichotomy, of course people will choose security over privacy — especially if you scare them first. But it’s still a false dichotomy.

И ещё он Франклина цитирует:

The famous quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin reads: «Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.» It’s also true that those who would give up privacy for security are likely to end up with neither.
