If we allow the government to deny us our constitutional rights on the basis of its suspicions, then all of us have no guarantee against government destroying our lives whenever it concocts a suspicion.

And that would not be a matter of the Constitution failing us. It would be a matter of us failing to defend and protect the Constitution. Tyrants of all types are very capable of protecting its servants from various boogeymen. But the servants have no protection against their master.

If we prefer to be dependent servants rather than sovereign citizens, we deserve that one-way security.

Exactly
thank you for wording it so that even Spence can understand, and then he will realize he is in that last category of dependent servants.
