Read the excerpt from "Little Brother" and answer the question.

Marcus and his father are discussing new regulations put in place by the Department of Homeland Security after a terrorist attack.

[1] "You're being paranoid, Marcus," he told me over breakfast one day as I told him about the guys I'd seen the cops shaking down on BART the day before.

[2] "Dad, it's ridiculous. They're not catching any terrorists, are they? It's just making people scared."

[3] "They may not have caught any terrorists yet, but they're sure getting a lot of horrible people off the streets. Look at the drug dealers—it says they've put dozens of them away since this all started. Remember when those druggies robbed you? If we don't bust their dealers, it'll only get worse." I'd been mugged the year before. They'd been pretty civilized about it. One skinny guy who smelled bad told me he had a gun, the other one asked me for my wallet. They even let me keep my ID, though they got my debit card and Fast Pass. It had still scared me witless and left me paranoid and checking my shoulder for weeks.

[4] "But most of the people they hold up aren't doing anything wrong, Dad," I said. This was getting to me. My own father! "It's crazy. For every guilty person they catch, they have to punish thousands of innocent people. That's just not good."

[5] "Innocent? Guys cheating on their wives? Drug dealers? You're defending them, but what about all the people who died? If you don't have anything to hide—"

[6] "So you wouldn't mind if they pulled *you* over?" My dad's histograms had proven to be depressingly normal so far.

[7] "I'd consider it my duty," he said. "I'd be proud. It would make me feel safer."

[8] Easy for him to say.
