Which of the following do you think is the greatest threat to our nation today and why:

(1) The continuing growth in scope of the surveillance state at home and abroad

(2) The terrorist threat the surveillance state is supposed to be protecting us from

Other Questions:

Are our sacrifices in privacy and freedom justified based on the results they're driving in stopping/impeding terrorists and/or cyber attacks/spying from foreign nations?

Based on what I've read, it seems like much of our cyber "warfare" efforts are actually means of maintaining our global economic dominance. The US seems to have made a point of calling out China over cyber-snooping our private sector and government to steal economic secrets, yet many sources say we're doing the exact same thing on a much larger scale. Would you say this is accurate? if so, how effective have these efforts been?
