i would blame them...seeing as personally i would choose to take my chances with the terrorists. Then that would make it a situation where someone else decided to trade my rights. even if terrorists started attacking the odds of dying in a terrorist attack are so miniscule and it's highly unlikely the willful surrender of hard fought rights will reduce those miniscule odds. I don't think people are that stupid and if they decide to prove me wrong i would move somewhere much safer like Columbia or Guatemala....

so yeah i would definately blame someone who willfully decided to trade my rights based on some irrational fear.
