I would rather show a photo id to get on a plane than be hijacked.
I would rather the state license drivers of cars so I don't get killed by an
incompetent driver.
I would rather cameras be used to screen faces in public places than have a
bomb go off during my third beer.
I would rather be stopped and frisked for weapons than be shot by a mugger
in New York City.
I would rather have packages inspected carefully by the postal service than
get a letter bomb.
I would rather the INS screen the border very carefully than to have known Arab
terrorists and their associates book commercial flights and fly commercial
jets into high rise buildings.
There is no such thing as absolute freedom. That would be called anarchy.
Even animals have a social order and rules.
