Terrorism is very scary, especially if it happens close to our home and not in a far-away country. In recent years, the authorities offered us an easy solution: “Give up your rights, and we will make you safe.” Nobody likes to be afraid; we were eager to make the fear go away. Over the last decade, governments across the world have made shrinking our civil liberties part of their daily routine.

But does our safety really depend on us letting go of our rights, and are we actually getting more security for the rights we give away?
