    Is security really available without the loss of freedom? This is a question that even separates political parties in Germany. I think, we will have to accept that security is always relative and never absolute. Nobody would like to live in a "brave new world", even if the reward were total security! There obviously is a risk of abuse. The government can achieve data and control everday life, just because we all have a certain amount of fear!

      "those who would sacrifice liberty for the illusion of security, deserve neither."
