Terrorism, like gun violence, is the act of another person interfering with my life. Falling down stairs is an accident. It's pretty easy to see how one elicits fear and outrage and demands to take action and the other doesn't.

FYI, there’s nothing in the parent argument that suggests we shouldn’t do anything to stop terrorism. It’s only saying that sacrificing our privacy rights isn’t worth the false assurance of safety mass surveillance provides.
