"Every time you give up a right, it's taken away forever" is still hyperbole.

People gave up the right to fly at all after 9/11. That was re-instituted for almost everyone in short order.

There is no right to fly. There was a right to privacy (at least as argued before the supreme court) and I think it could be said that is revoked because of the three-letter-agencies data collection that was justified by 9/11.
