Going full devil's advocate here.
Likely security is going to become so omnipresent before it stops becoming a nuisance. In a world where irrational people can travel practically with immunity, where they can gather materials to cause great harm, many will not want to pay the price for their freedom. So security would need to become so integrated it just fades into the background.
We can bemoan our loss of freedoms all we want but it never ceases to amaze the very same people posting such a complaint will none the less turn right around and demand government take action against someone doing something they don't approve of or take over services they think they are entitled too.
So get with it, you give the government an inch they won't stop taking. Just as quickly as you demand they take action against those you don't like you should fully expect someone to ask them to actions against you directly or indirectly.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoThis kind of surveillance does not work for prevention. Some of the Paris terrorist were on file, some have been arrested previously, yet they were all able to get guns, explosives, and enough time unchecked to commit the multiple attacks. All this in a city where the military was already patrolling the streets in the Vigipirate program. There's no way this is going to fade into the background and stop becoming a nuisance, because making a spectacle out of it is its only benefit. Since it does not work to prevent, it must work to show people that something is being done.
