and gave a link to a "reason" editorial. Quoting from that one:

"How wrong, then, that we've dealt away some of our freedom and privacy for
a promise of safety and security.",

I would like to give a hint. As Olga Bourlin outlined in her post yesterday,
the East German secret police "Stasi" had 1 spy nosing around on every 6.5
citizens - an outstanding world record.

Now, if you translate "Stasi", which is an abbreviation for
"Staatssicherheit", with a tiny little grain of "poetical freedom", you get
the term "Homeland Security".
