There is always an edge case to justify the loss of freedoms. In the fullness of time, it is revealed that case was just a pretext that doesn't really occur. But the genie is out of the bottle then.
The means is that TV/media play up edge case as if it was important. Once the justification is accepted, the freedom is taken and does NOT come back.
(Media, in case you haven't been paying attention is part of the governance system - driving what is acceptable to think about on a daily basis. No, propaganda is not to be found in China, Russia only - in fact the Western societies are far worse; we are propagandised from cradle to grave.)
Have any of the pre-9/11 freedoms we lost, come back? Travel restrictions, water bottles on planes, etc? They have not. So, an event occurs, this is played up to the n-th degree to justify the loss of control in our lives, and slowly slowly we tip-toe into overt control and domination by the system. In a way you can say that humanity's well-meaning nature - the wanting to do the right thing - leaves us open to these sorts of attacks - ie our good natures are weaponised against us.
