Yes. The culture of fear has been twofold: the government imposes limitations to our liberty to "protect" us, and those of us under the thumb of fear are to smile and nod because we feel the need to be "protected." Implied danger has given Big Brother free reign, and this police state can only be usurped if more than one or two of us is willing to refuse illegal search or seizure.

But then we're late for work, or something. What are our options?

I wish I would be the civil disobedient, and refuse the slight to my freedom, but I probably won't be.
