"Not much said, however, on just how they intend to maintain the freedom they enjoy currently"....

really?....the most invasive groping pad downs take place at american airports.  across america the great, vehicular check points randomly set up and demanding reasons for your scurrying about in ol' yahmerica in that 'foreign' made car.  or the intoxicatingly euphoric sounding 'patriot act' which gives america's president to do whatever the hell he wants because apparently america is in a perpetual 'state of war' and the president is allowed this under the constitution including warrantless snooping and collection of data from all e-mails, phone calls, text messages etc etc etc.  and this, the constant real-time tabs the various costly security agencies keep on its citizens, is freedom?
