I doubt many would find the cost in liberty to be acceptable.
That's a good point, I guess I was being too broad in my answer there. I'll add, "to the extent that it is reasonable to prevent murder, one should," instead, then.
Any time I see something like "at all cost", or the like, I start to think I'm being steered into an intellectual ambush.
