    Default "You can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy" - Obama

    President Barack Obama on Friday staunchly defended the sweeping U.S. government surveillance of Americans' phone and internet activity, calling it a "modest encroachment" on privacy that was necessary to defend the United States from attack.

    Obama: "You can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience," Obama said. "We're going to have to make some choices as a society. ... There are trade-offs involved."

    +1. Any reasonable person knows that 100% security is an impossibility. A willingness to give up freedom in exchange for this pipe dream is folly. I believe I have seen a quote from one of the founding fathers around this or a similar sentiment.

    This. I still find it pretty bad that I've heard this line so many times, but have heard it more in recent times (I dunno, say the last 4 1/2 years or so) than ever before. Perhaps because so many fail to heed Mr. Franklin's warning.
