This is actually one of my personal soapbox issues. Everytime we allow the government to infringe on one of our personal freedoms...for the good of society, it actually becomes easier the next time for them to do the same and their appetite only becomes greater with each small piece.
With the terrorist paranoia to bolster them, it should be of no surprise that they would push to take even more personal freedoms for the greater good. The sad thing is, there are plenty of people who will believe that 1) it is for the greater good and 2) it won't be abused by those in power and that therefore, this is not a bad thing.
