Especially when it comes to "security" laws, the EU often seems to be on a concerning track, while it seems to have good ideas for many other areas (consumer protection for example). Does someone have a good explanation for this phenomenon?

    Paternalism

    You cannot restrict and reduce restriction at the same time. Instead just restrict everyone, for their own safety.

    In multiple ways, contrary to the US and I think the EU is currently doing the best job of them all.
