said by Terabit:To the contrary. Libertarian types or ultra liberals are the main folks who are paranoid about this crap.
Is more on the grounds that we operate on 'innocent until proven guilty'. Monitoring personal activity w/out a warrant and things like airport body scanners operate by default assuming 'guilty until proven innocent'. It's the principal of not becoming a police state, not paranoia.
That's not just a libertarian/ultra liberal view, some from all political sides see this - it's those who pander to fear who do not understand this. They'd rather give up liberty for a false sense of security - and then get neither.
