What price, security?

Of course Ray Kelly would say this.  It merely echoes what many others say about the NSA spying on us.

This clearly demarcates the divide between those who would give up liberty for security, those who would rather live cowed and on their knees if it means someone is watching over them and those who know life is risk, life is unsafe, and it is only our freedom that makes the risk worthwhile, that part of a full life is meeting it on your feet, face forward.

Is a life with no liberty precious enough to justify giving up our freedoms?  If New York City would let law-abiding citizens defend themselves then they could be secure AND free.
