To answer this the terms "freedom" and "security" must be more clearly defined. If I had absolute freedom would I be able to do exactly as I pleased? Could I bend the laws of nature to my will, for if I lacked such power I would lack absolute freedom. If I had absolute security what is motivating me to conform to restrictions on my freedom? Assuming the security was permanent, could I not avoid retribution for acting outside of what others tell me to do? I can not resolve these questions, so I can not answer.
