Freedom vs. Order Discussion

Original Prompt:
Considering what values are most important to you, is freedom more important than order? If there is an issue, such as airport security, how much freedom is the right amount an individual should have to surrender for his/her safety? 

My response:

"I think that freedom and order must be balanced. I don't think one is honestly any more important than the other, because order is needed to protect our freedoms. Without enforcement of order for myself, those around me may have their rights infringed by me.  In difficult situations, I think that there are a few considerations. The first consideration is the magnitude of the risk to others. The basic right is life. In the example given (airport security) the damage that can be done is great, so people should be willing to give some freedoms (a search of personal belongings, body scan with x-ray, etc).  The second consideration is that in that case, passengers are actually giving up some of their freedoms in exchange for the protection of their basic rights to life/property. Third consideration is that if they have nothing to hide, a minor inspection should not be too offending. So, I think that currently the giving up of some rights to privacy is a reasonable amount of freedom to require passengers to give up."

Me: "I think that the 2nd Amendment article makes very good points, which very well may be why the Civil War was so violent, but may it also be that the Framers of the Constitution were also protecting our right as stated in the Declaration that "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."? How would a people ever hope to wage a revolution without bearing arms? No government which wielded such power would give it up easily. I am not saying this needs to be done by any means, but that if we are to retain the right to choose a government for ourselves, the means by which that may be done in the face of tyranny and abuse must be retained."
