It could be in some situations. The problem is that if you're giving up freedom, you are probably losing safety in another area. On top of that, you aren't guaranteed to actually get the safety you bargained for.
A great example of this is the TSA. To fly in the US, you have a choice of being fondled by a stranger or scanned and viewed in the nude by a stranger, all in the name of safety. This extreme intrusion doesn't actually make us safer, though. I can think of several ways to hijack a plane, even with these precautions.
