Security vs Freedom

Saw this on a forum by an AC today:

I think that my freedom is more important than my security.
I prefer to live in a free but insecure world than in a perfectly safe but not free world.

When govts try for a perfectly safe world, they need to be reminded of this stance.

Also, New Zealand has a law that fines someone refusing to unlock their electronics at the border with NZD$5,000. The claim is that they must have a good reason to demand access, but that is a little late. The article also said that the device would be in “airplane mode” for the searches.
