    If the risk of nuclear terrorism were 50% over the next decade. What freedom would you sacrifice to diminish it to 5%?

        @SamHarrisOrg Justify the premise of your question. Why should there be a trade off between liberty and security?

        .@libertarian_adi Generally speaking, there is an obvious tension between liberty/privacy and security.

        @SamHarrisOrg The risk of nuclear terrorism is not know and can be diminished by foreign policies. You cannot justify PRISM with this arg

        @DevaKila Most risks are not "known," they are estimated by people who study all the relevant variables.

        @SamHarrisOrg You are right but IMHO the estimative is not reliable in this case and why net espionage has anything to to with it ?

        @SamHarrisOrg Sacrificing privacy doesn't necessarily equal better security. All our weaknesses lie in the human element, not in the dragnet

        @SamHarrisOrg To your q- a tradeoff exists. But we don't need the nuclear example: the Tsarnaevs were on a watchlist. Human element failed.

        @millertime32 @SamHarrisOrg "Waging aggressive war" has a specific legal definition. The U.S. was not the aggressor in either WW2 or Korea.
