This security improvement will make me safer

If society as a whole constantly falls for the "security" argument then it won't be long before every aspect of your life is controlled by some central entity.

I feel obligated to bring up that timeless quote again: "Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither."

That argument is slightly lazy, in that it applies to far too many situations where it's obviously wrong... Looking both ways before crossing the street does not make my life controlled by some central entity, etc..

You do not give up any right when you look both ways before crossing the street. Which other situations you can suggest?
