Bruce Cheney Quotations

It's a very delicate kabuki dance that we do between privacy and security, and I think to some greater or lesser extent you need to plug into the fact that your individual privacy might damage the majority's safety.

Most people . . . did not find it invasive, and did not find it delayed their trips unnecessarily.

Should the majority of people who are going to be driving over that bridge take the chance that they're going to be injured, to assure that you don't get caught?
