Yes, let's just hand off all of our rights and freedoms to the government so they can promise to keep us safe from the big, bad terrorists.
Back in the day, those opposed to an autocratic government spouted famous lines like, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety", and, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Now, the line seems to be, "Do whatever you want! Just don't let those nasty furriners hurt me!"
