As Montesquieu said : "a People that is willing to sacrifice its freedom to gain some security doesn't deserve either and eventually loses both." (on-the-fly translation by myself)

You can't possibly chose security : you always want more, the absolute security. But it doesn't exist and won't ever exist, so you just lost your freedom.

Then, the important thing is to define one's freedom.
