| Message | National security is of vital importance. The current law prevents criminals and terrorists from fleeing the country to nations which would harbour and protect them, and from where they would plot future attacks. Whether the security check is cursory or invasive will have little effect on the average citizen, the system is already in place to carry out these checks and dismantling this process will endanger a number of jobs not only in the passport section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in aspects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and even those in non-government jobs. |

| Message | The state should not be a big brother when it comes to OUR nationals wanting to leave the country, this cursory security check will check for any disparencies in a person's record and through that further investigation will be taken account and will shorten a person's process for being issued a passport. |

| Message | Actually we have a duty, both to our own nation and to others, to restrict the travel of criminals and other such undesirables. The state, in fact, must act as a big brother. In this way it encourages unity, cooperation, and efficiency. Liberalism, on the other hand, breeds chaos and apathy. |

| Message | Well it really hasn't it has breeded stability and order, and no one can deny that, while on the other hand authorotarianism stalls the economy and creates unnecessary fear. |
