9/11 or 1984? What would be worse?

1984. Why, what were you thinking?

As tragic as 9/11 was, if I had to choose between one or the other, I'd prefer that 3000 people die rather than 300 million people living under a totalitarian government so oppressive that they might as well be dead. Have you ever actually read 1984? It goes a bit further than cameras in public places.

Which one is more likely to happen if we adopt 21st century security systems? Another 9/11 or 1984?

What makes you think they are mutually exclusive? I'd say "both".

Will adopting biometrics and survellience secuity guarantee 1984 will happen? No.

What makes you say that?

Will not adopting biometrics and survellience security guarantee another 9/11. Yes.

And how would these prevent a 9/11-like act of terrorism? What is it about biometrics and cameras that would prevent a terrorist from doing something like driving a van full of explosives into a building?

[aSkeptic]

kinda like the security camera grabs of Atta in the quicky marts... 3 days later. Uh. Huh.

9/11 or 1984? What would be worse?

I'll take 9/11 every 4 months than a 1984 style police state.

It is amazing that people do not understand the danger of the police state.

How? Better photography of the planes crashing into the WTC? Personally, I thought the video coverage of the event was quite good enough.

[Wm Bach]

You got it bass ackwards.
Adopting biometrics and survellience secuity will ensure a 1984 nightmare.
Adopting all the biometrics and survellience security in the world will not deter another 9/11 event.

[stand watie]

it will eventually cause BOTH 1984 & 9-11. given the left's wish to control everything, do you TRUST a bunch of un-elected bureaucrats with your LIBERTY?

free dixie NOW,sw

9/11 or 1984? What would be worse?

3000 people were murdered on 9/11.

Over 200,000,000 people were murdered by police states.

You do the math.
