      FBI Director campaigns against online security, cites #Garland - where one citizen with a gun protected what $53b spy budget did not.

      This isn't about guns, either. It's about what actually saves lives. Those who stopped attacks on #Thalys train and #Flight253 were unarmed.

      But even if it did, it would not be a victory. Abandoning open society for fear of terrorism is the only way to be defeated by it.

          @Snowden exactly what I'm getting at. We aren't moving forward because govt doesn't want us to, and govt wants us to worry about that.

          @randygdub @Snowden bias, sure, but that doesn't make the evidence that these spy programs have not done anything to protect you bias.
