Privacy is an integral part of security - one cannot have security without privacy! Witness the various locations (eg the hotel in the article) that treat a small encroachment on their privacy as a security threat!

What has severely muddied the water is the term "security" has been bandied about by governments (and other large centralized entities) to refer to their own security, often at at the expense of our security. In order to sell the lie, we're encouraged to think that their security implies our security, which is obviously bullshit when you look at the positions their various security measures actually put us in - eg bunched up, undressed, split up, and disassembled in the airport groping line.
