The first time I felt a real chill with regard to the United States when when I saw padlocks for sale (here in Brazil, no less!) with some inscription to the effect of "TSA-friendly". You buy a lock to keep people away from peeking at your stuff, but you can no longer keep the government away. This felt like having the keys to your front door being forcefully changed into "FBI-friendly" keys.
