No - there are no absolutes (except for that one). All rights haven't been superseded nor can that happen in our system. There is always a balance between privacy and security - after 9/11 the balance swung, with the public's approval, towards more security at the expense of privacy. It now appears that there will be a move in the other direction - the public will begin to insist on more privacy at the expense of security. Either because they are willing to accept the increased security risk for less intrusive government. Or because they do not perceive (correctly or incorrectly) that the risk is great enough to justify the security measures.

That does say it, but does the privileges given to law enforcement after 9/11, supersede all rights to privacy with the rights to security?
