What freedom(s), if any, would you give up if your government could GUARANTEE protection from terrorist attacks?

I would laugh hysterically at any government "guaranteeing" protection from terrorist attacks. It's like promising that no cataclysm like flood or earthquake will ever occur again.

I agree with Aether. And I wouldn't be willing to give up any freedoms even if I didn't.

Of course no government could make such a guarantee. My question was, and is, IF such a guarantee was possible (which in the real world it never would be), what if any freedoms you would be willing to give up.

I am curious to see what people would give up to be ABSOLUTELY safe.

Well, I would also not give up any freedoms. The risk of being killed as a result of a terrorist attack is negligeble, compared to that of dying in a car crash, for example

in that hypothetical world, where government can guarantee me protection from terrorists, i would be willing to voluntarily give up my telekinetic powers.

Wasn´t that Don Johnson, in his neo-nazi flick?
