I believe you. The Patriot Act used an external attack to justify all kinds of visible and invisible intrusions. Then we rationalize additional voluntary freedom erosions to overcome the new frictions of movement, such as TSA Precheck. And I further agree that border walls keep us locked up as much as others out. Like the Patriot Act, support for the border wall is becoming bipartisan, and terrifying.
