Is it ever acceptable to give up a little bit of liberty for more security?
According to 35 percent of people who responded to this poll question, the answer is “never.” Some 27 percent, however, agreed that it is acceptable “in moment of great national crisis, such as a war.”
A much smaller percentage (12 percent) said it was acceptable “but only temporarily, and for important events such as international summits.” Some 15 percent, meanwhile, agreed that such questions could only be answered “on a case-by-case basis.”
And finally, 12 percent of respondents felt it was always acceptable to give up a little bit of liberty for more security because “the needs of society come first.”
