Coronavirus / COVID-19

...You believe that your civil liberties are being compromised to save peoples lives from a virus?? Didn't they blatantly scam you in the wake of 9/11 into believing that your civil liberties were being compromised to save peoples lives from terrorists? -Hindsight much??

It's all just another convenient lever to pry with.

I don't think that the USA needs any reason to pry further into its citizens:

Border Patrol can stop and detain for any reason up to 100 miles in from a border. That's almost 2/3 of the entire population right there.
Anything digital can be taken either with or without the rubber-stamp court warrant.
Most police cars have automatic number plate recognition - which can be cross referenced with your cell phone to track.
Riots are responded to with police armed with the sort of equipment that would fight a decent war - except the police have far less training than the military.

If there was a time the government was scared of the People, that is at least 100 years ago.
