Don't be hyperbolic. The reality is that we should be just as concerned by a guy blowing up a truck at the Apple Store as we should about ICE raids at 3 in the morning. With both right wing terrorists and the government, scope creep has a way of ensnaring us all eventually. Same is true of any terrorist, and any government. So look, the question is not: Whether or not compromising my personal privacy will bring me more or less security? But rather the question is: Whether or not compromising my personal privacy is consistent with American Ideals? I say no. So in my personal opinion we, as a nation, have no business mandating that people compromise their personal privacy.

> The reality is that we should be just as concerned by a guy blowing up a truck at the Apple Store as we should about ICE raids at 3 in the morning. I can't be the only person completely unconcerned by events like this taking place. And I'm not someone without copious anxiety in their life.

  You’re probably not literally the only person is unconcerned, but the overwhelming majority of the population seems to suffer from the availability heuristic, which means they’re concerned simply because it’s in the news, and it’s in the news simply because of its emotional affect.
