Because we are being attacked by fascist goons whose tactic of choice is killing civilians. I do not know about you, but I travel a bit and it feels good when, say, the pilot of a British Airways aircraft announces that the flight is delayed for about 20 minutes to remove "unmatched" luggage (something that the US carriers are yet to implement) or that security guards at the Schiphol airport interview every passenger boarding an overseas flight. I do not think that these practices make the UK or the Netherlands "police states."
There was an old saying "better red than dead." I think it has not lost its relevance.
