Re: "Yes, let's say it would be guaranteed... which one(s) would you give up? In all this circular dialogue, you haven't named one you could give up for that kind of guarantee... now, how about it?" And you haven't named what I would GAIN, either, exactly. (As I explained: not in the habit of buying a pig in a poke.... What's the offer? Are you saying 'absolute safety from all terrorist attacks forever'? No? Then what?) Like I said, it all DEPENDS on the cost/benefit ratio. Since there ARE NO 'guarantees' in life... WHAT freedom are we supposed to trade away? And WHAT degree of improvement is supposed to be gained in our safety from terrorist attack by trading this particular freedom away? So... I'm a reasonable guy. Willing to make reasonable trades, but only if I can gain more then I would be giving up. Obviously.
