The trend will always be to trade liberty for the feeling of safety (and rarely, actual safety). We all know what Ben Franklin has to say about that.

...I just received a memo stating that employees with access to chemicals will be subjected to a background check every 3 years... it sounds like the government is now in control of who is allowed to work, and where. Of course, this enormously expensive program will do nothing to improve the safety of anyone, but at least the government has a new tool to arbitrarily harass people in new and creative ways.
