I prefer to lose time before I lose privacy.

I do not forsee this nation becoming one in which travel permission must be granted, and one's papers must be in order. Freedom to travel and associate is a basic principle in this nation.

Do you really think allowing an army of government nerds to sort through every facet of our lives will prevent anything? The mass of information would be impossible to sift through.

My guess is you are suggesting Americans should give up resistance to the law enforcers any time they want to gather information any time they wish, rather than try to monitor everyone at every time. This would do nothing, but deny freedom to law-abiding citizens, since criminals obviously would find ways around any observation the government can impose.

No, I still prefer to be inconvenienced at the airport, than give up my right of privacy. That I will always fight to keep.
