1. 20 years off

George Orwell missed it by 20 years.

[Romulus]

2. trade liberty for security

and you wind up with the Patriot Act.

edited to add:

The UK has done this bit with the public cameras, and crime has exponentially increased. So much for more security.

3. Perhaps

If the UK hadn't done away with guns at the same time, the cameras might have helped.
