The survey found 51 percent of Americans agreeing that “it is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism.”

Sorry folks, you’re the opposite of safe if your government can stick fingers in you every time you fly and detain and smack you around if they ever get your name confused with someone on some bullshit list or if they simply don’t like your religion, library books or attitude.
