Now they may only want to comb your emails. But if you let them, next they want to comb through your house, your clothes, and before you know it, you're getting anal probed every other tuesday because terrorists, and we all have to bend over or the terrorists win...
It's amazing, how some people who otherwise seem rational, seem to have this off-switch in their brain that activates with the mere mention of the word "terrorists". Excuse me, why are you reading my emails? Terrorists. Oh, that's ok then! Why are you listening to my phone calls? Why are you going through my underwear drawer? Terrorists. Oh, never mind then, carry on! Hope you catch those bastards!
Anything and everything can apparently be justified with "terrorists". Any violation of privacy, any erosion of basic human rights, all can be shitcanned with appeal to terrorism. And that to me is scarier than any terrorist threat could ever be.
