Was there any moment in your life when you felt that your safety was at risk? If so, what was your experience like? 2. How do you feel about cameras in public areas? Do you feel more secure or more intruded on? 3. Does police presence at large gatherings - festivals, concerts, sports, etc - give you a sense of security? Is police presence in the street without any special event different? 4. What is your opinion of airport security theater? 5. What suspicions/proof should police have to stop people for questioning in public areas? 6. What is the right balance between security and personal freedom? Would you rather live in a society where the government has unlimited power but promises to protect you, or live in a society where you are responsible for your safety? 7. Does your government do a good job of protecting its people? By courtesy of Ceit Hustedde (Member of Buddytree)
