But that's only half of the equation; it's just as important to discuss 
the costs. Security is always a trade-off, and herein lies the real 
question: "Is this security countermeasure worth it?"

As Americans, and as citizens of the world, we need to think of 
ourselves as security consumers. Just as a smart consumer looks for the 
best value for his dollar, we need to do the same. Many of the 
countermeasures being proposed and implemented cost billions. Others 
cost in other ways: convenience, privacy, civil liberties, fundamental 
freedoms, greater danger of other threats. As consumers, we need to get 
the most security we can for what we spend.
