If THE choice was certain or NEAR certain death at the hands of a terrorist versus the loss of my civil liberties that would be one thing. Bye Bye Bill of Rights.
But the question is: Do we want to give up our rights, the very fabric that defines us, for a shapeless fear?
If that is ok with you that is good, because there will always be enough death and killings to say "I Told You So".
And there will always be enough of them to justify more restrictive laws.

As far as rights... what have we lost? A certain degree of our right to privacy as far as the government is concerned but besides that not much else has changed!
I do see a fair amount of this law being taken down in the supreme court.
Personally though I don't know or know of any instances where people have felt restricted because of these changes.
