I think this is unfortunate, and sad. But I saw this coming.
And I don't think there would be evidence of this kind of stuff actually stopping anything.
But one of the key features of national security states and this BS GWOT is that it is nearly politically impossible to revert them. First because no one wants to be responsible if they reduce the national security apparatus and something happens.
Secondly, because too many private interests end up supporting this crap. A lot of new GWOT measures are actually used more frequently to protect copyrights, harass immigrants, etc.
