Hitler disarmed the populace in the name of their "security." The term Schutzstaffel, or SS, is roughly translated to "homeland security."
From another website:

"Within a month of the nation being attacked by terrorists, legislation that combated terrorism by suspending constitutional guarantees of free speech was championed by a popular leader. It was called the "Decree on the Protection of People and State," and it passed despite the objections of concerned legislators and civil libertarians. A new national agency was formed within a year that coordinated police and federal security. It consolidated unprecedented power under one leader. No, this is not President Bush’s newly won Department of Homeland Security—it was Hitler’s Office of Fatherland Security, the Reichssicherheitshauptamt and Schutzstaffel, better known simply as the SS."

I don't buy the argument of security over rights ANY day.
