Do you mean what they could take away or what excuse they could use to do that?

What they could take away varies alot, the obvious stuff, unconditional freedom of peach, privicy - or a right to it (that FBI heat scanner type thing comes to mind), Freedom of association, freedom of the press is a biggie controlling the mouthpiece is a bigstep towards controling the proles.

How? The usual, 'its for the kids', 'common decency', general media whitewash "only evil hackers want encryption/internet privicy", "having no privicy makes it easier to catch criminals", calling on common fears or ideals would be another major one.

Enough for now
