That's a wrong thing to do for two reasons.
1. It's collective punishment. Unethical unless absolutely necessary.
2. It would be ineffective. In most cases in the west the relatives of people who ended up blowing themselves up didn't know about their involvement in terrorist organizations and didn't condone their actions.

So what? We don't have to have any of those things. Also, collective punishment is not better than massive inconvenience. Convenience is never an excuse for doing something immoral.
