"At what point do we as a society hand it back to the individual and state emphatically, "Sorry, no YOU are responsible for why this happened to you.?"
The same day that we start presuming that people are guilty until proven innocent, the same day that we are told by our government that security is more important than liberty, and the same day that we all begin the Pledge of Allegiance with "Seig Heil!". We are tettering on the edge of the precipice of absolute totalitarianism, where the comfort and wealth of the few is ensured by the oppression and domination of the many, where freedom is a "privilege" that can be tossed aside for the convenience of some government bureaucrat, and where everything that millions have fought and died for will be forgotten in the rush to be "safe". Franklin was right - "Those who would exchange liberty for security deserve neither." Those who would take nipple rings in the name of security have no idea about liberty, or security, or freedom, or apparently, creative sex.
Seig Heil! The new motto of the United States if we don't radically take back our freedoms soon....
