Security for Liberty

"Observation number three. While babbling talking heads counterpose security and liberty as competing values, we must declare that security only exists to guard liberty. The proper test must always remain: will the net value of liberty be greater if a security measure is implemented, and if it won't be greater because of implementing the security measure, the security measure should be discarded. Security does not compete with liberty, it guarantees it and guards it."
