Wrong. That point comes a whole lot sooner than that. As an extreme example, would you accept covert surveillance throughout the country, including within the privacy of your own home, on the promise that 'bad guys' won't be able to do 'bad things'?

I would argue that the loss of a life is well worth the protection of our freedoms. In fact, millions died during both World Wars protecting those freedoms. Allowing Governments to infringe on our privacy and freedom in the name of 'security' is a very slippery slope.

This same principal applies to upholding the law of the land. For example, I'm sure the police could catch more 'bad guys' if search warrants were not required. Would you suggest the police be allowed to enter your home without a warrant? Clearly not. Hence you've drawn the line at carte blanch entry to peoples homes.

You've clearly missed the point about why we have laws. We don't have laws to catch the 'bad guys'. Laws are there to serve the People, not the State and it's about time the Government remembered that.
