You make a good point overall except for the fact the U.S. is rapidly losing their liberty, and most Americans have been lazy and apathetic about it.
They have TSA checkpoints on some highways now.
On Thursday, they will be voting on a bill that puts America in an official "war zone" and the military will be able to arrest and detain American citizens indefinitely without due process.
The Patriot Act etc..
