Perhaps people who grew up under the shadow of gangs have a different perspective. I didn't object strongly to having my bags searched at every shop door, or my phone bugged, or having soldiers watch me through their SUSAT sights, or even being incorrectly detained in the back of a police Land Rover for an hour. It was annoying and uncomfortable but better than masked gunmen kicking in doors at 02:00 to deliver a kneecapping or worse. Life involves compromise and sometimes those compromises are made with the things that are most precious, so that we can retain them in the future.
