activity in the UK includes having government employees busting into

I rather appreciate a comment often attributed to Benjamin Franklin:
"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves
neither liberty nor security"
Are you sure it was Ben Franklin? It was definitely one of the framers,
