You don't understand how it works, imagine a world where 9/11 never happened.

Do you think that this alternative universe would not have the equivalent of TSA and Five Eyes?

It would. These things do not exist because $event happened, they exist because they are useful to those in power.

Look at the city of Trinidad, TX for example: Lady is arrested because of Facebook about how she heard that brown colored water coming from pipes has hospitalized people. Another guy because he is protesting the arrest. Her crime is "Felony false alarm". His crime "Disorderly conduct".

Both laws created, I am sure, to combat issues the community or state has had to deal with. But also able to be used to suppress people those in power dislike.
