The prevalence of this attitude is one of the biggest problems in the world today. I forget which of the authors of the Federalist Papers said it, but, "A man* that is willing to give up an ounce of his freedom for a measure of security deserves no freedom at all." (most likely not the actual quote, but the point is there  ).
* Translate to person in today's overly-politcal correct world- in English, man is often used as a generic term that is independant of gender, but there are people that do not realize this.
