    The thing I actually fear is that people stop fearing the Government, grant it additional "one time"/"special"/"emergency" powers, and that they get abused to directly interfere with my life. Examples include:
      - monitoring my bank account for wealth balance rather than income balance
      - warrantless wiretap of my E-mail/phone/whatever
      - general disrespect of my privacy/property/random-searches
      - general restrictions of my freedom (curfew, etc.)
