The freedom to not have my bag searched if I have something that looks like a bomb on the x-ray, sure, I'll give that up.
The freedom to blow up buildings with people in them is another one I don't mind giving up.
So to answer the question, yes, there are some freedoms I am willing to sacrifice.

Am I willing to sacrifice everything so many have fought and died to secure for us and to protect and preserve?
Absolutely not. Without our freedoms, we are not America in more than name only and I will NOT surrender my nation on the chance that some big "meanie" MIGHT come and try to wrest it from us.

Freedom provides my security so giving up freedom equals giving up security. BTW: Anyone who gives up freedom for security is espousing an un-American attitude. Either you defend liberty or you don't. There ain't no middle ground, here. Thus, if you will give up your liberty because you have done no wrong, you are not defending your liberty and that is why Ben Franklin concluded you deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Absolutely not.
As one of our greatest founding fathers said:
"Anyone who sacrifices freedom for liberty deserves neither."

Yes, when an actual correlation between them exists. The current situation does not meet that criterion.
