So if government took a hands off approach to terrorism, opened our borders, let anyone fly on our planes, there wouldn't be an increase in terrorism? Is that what you're saying?

I'm saying that if the UK had open borders, we would be a better country. I'm saying that if we could get on planes without spending hours in security, we'd be a better country. I'm saying that your 'terrorism' is a farce. I don't believe in your 'terrorism'. Your 'terrorism' is an excuse to block good in the world, and to further evil, and I've had enough of it. I'm saying that your actions, under the guise of preventing 'terrorism', have caused more terror. Your warnings to citizens to watch out - terror. Your pat downs at airports - terror. Your encryption laws - terror.

  I am anti-empire, and anti-security theater as they come. But to say that all borders should be open, with absolutely no intelligence gathering and no consideration of massive migrant flows... this is one of the most blatantly child-like thoughts I've seen expressed here. There is a big gap between "Stop taking off shoes at the airport; stop launching drone strikes on weddings" and "No problems would arise from completely free movement between the vastly different cultures of east and west".

Why does somebody always have to go from one extreme to another...are you saying just if the government can't have access to all things in our private lives and spy on us in every manner then they are unable to provide any protecting and security on the borders, planes, and elsewhere?

That's quite a hyperbole.

Airlines don't just let anybody in. They care about not losing planes too. I'd say they have best information to balance out convenience of travel with safety.
