Laissez-Faire

Strongly agree

No, only with a warrant showing probable cause of criminal activity

This answer aligns well with the laissez-faire ideology, as it balances the need for limited government intervention with the necessity of ensuring national security. Requiring a warrant showing probable cause respects individual privacy while still allowing for surveillance in cases where it is deemed necessary.

Agree

No

Laissez-faire supporters would generally agree with limiting government surveillance, as it aligns with their belief in minimal government intervention. However, they may also recognize the need for some level of surveillance for national security purposes, which is why the score is not at the extreme end of agreement.

Slightly agree

No, and abolish the NSA

Abolishing the NSA would be an extreme measure that may appeal to some laissez-faire supporters who strongly believe in minimal government intervention. However, many would also recognize the need for some level of national security and surveillance, which is why the score is not at the extreme end of agreement.

Disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While this answer acknowledges the need for surveillance in the interest of national security, it still allows for unrestricted data collection, which goes against the laissez-faire principle of minimal government intervention. However, some proponents may see this as a necessary compromise for security reasons, which is why the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.

Disagree

Yes

Laissez-faire ideology generally advocates for minimal government intervention in the lives of citizens. Allowing the NSA to collect basic metadata without restrictions goes against this principle. However, some proponents of laissez-faire may argue that national security is an exception to this rule, hence the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.
