Whenever anything is proposed to "fight terrorists", it's going to be used to hurt you. Anything, every time.
If you aren’t 100% enthusiastic about letting government track your every movement, spy on all your communication, control every dollar you spend, turn rights into privileges, etc., they consider YOU the terrorist.
You are the target of these programs and this legislation or policy. If it happens to catch a real terrorist somewhere along the way, that's just the cherry on top that they'll point to when claiming success. And most of those terrorists are probably their guys in one way or another.
Government considers you the enemy, and it will show you by what it does if you're paying attention.
Imagine being gullible enough to believe government protects you and is essential for your well-being. Or to conflate government with society.
