Should we give up our privacy for protection?

I believe that citizens should be ready to give up personal freedom and privacy during a national crisis. If the citizens gave up their privacy it can help dealing with the national crisis and prevent it from happening again. The problem is that people don’t want to give up their privacy because they don’t want people looking at their lives. The thing is that they are not the only people who lives are being over watched. There are so many other people whose lives are being observed as well. You don’t really have anything to worry about unless you are doing something bad or illegal. The government couldn’t care less about your life because there are so many others that they have to observe. In the end if we let them observe what we do then it’ll protect us from being attacked. I would rather have them watch over the activities that I do than being afraid of being attacked or bombed.
