You should always consider your liberty at stake, because it is ALWAYS at stake.
You should always be wary of dictatorial measures that are sugarcoated with the promise that they are temporary. You should always be wary of people who enjoy having power over others, and will take advantage of unfortunate situations to enhance that power.
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." (Rahm Emanuel).
Fine, have a nice life.
