@piotrex43 If nothing else, it's giving the message that terrorism does work, because then people get terrified and give up the values we hold dear. It's ironic, really. x.x
@squeakycheetah Agreed! Creating fear is one of main reasons why terrorism exists. Politicians are sadly using the fear to push for more and more surveillance and censorship. And it's working. I could give examples of laws restricting freedom for rest of this day. I wish our society was more educated on this matter, I haven't met anyone in real life who wouldn't use the "I have nothing to hide" argument when confronted with privacy issues. Terrorism wins.
