The 'safety' choice is misinformed. People have allowed what they see in the media and what politicians are saying to cause them fear - fear which is completely irrational. I noticed this during the Question Time debates in the UK the other night where Jeremy Corbyn was hounded on nuclear weapons. Some people in that audience seriously believe we are on the brink of nuclear war and want someone in charge who has no issues dropping nukes on other people. I was pissed off watching it until I realised they genuinely seem scared. But their is almost no rational behind that other than things they've heard on the news. The terror attacks in the UK in the last 3 months have been devastating - but the number of deaths and even the number of injuries needs to be kept in perspective when choosing to give up rights as important as privacy. One choice is informed by logic and reason, the other by exaggeration and lies.
