I think alot of people are afraid to speak out about things. There are many who fear that they will be put on no fly lists, etc. There was a story awhile back about someone on LJ who had the secret service show up at their door because they were getting political. Perhaps people see that laws are being broken and they wonder if that means they can be “disappeared”.
