How about the same way it's been done in past centuries right here in America? Quit pussy-footing around, and take out the bad guys!

You don't give up freedoms and liberties, otherwise you end up in a police state. How long before the government can just come into your home and search you any time they want? How long before you need permission to travel? Once these systems are in place they will grow as government always grows. They will be used to stop political opponents of the current regime rather than used to stop “terrorists”.

If you compromise your rights to buy security it won't be long before you'll have neither.
