What are those liberties that should not be sacrificed for security?
Looking at it historically, these rights have changed over time.
For example, slave ownership was once considered a right. Indeed, many of the landowning white males that drafted our Constitution were slave owners.
The right to vote - of course the right to vote was limited for quite some time - being the exclusive club of the white male. It is also limited today, felons for example.
The right to put in your body what you want - limited by prohibition (repealed ) and the controlled substances act (atrocity) - although tobacco is still legal (hypocricy).
Thoughts?
