As a person part of this society you speak of, I disagree. Every life is sacred, and even as a full-on anarcho-capitalist I will agree that a ridiculous police-state is justified to defend the individuals within our society. I say that because that is the path we have chosen, by virtue of having a state. Otherwise, we're essentially rehashing the old "the good of the many outweighs the needs of the few".

As we should be, because it's the only reasonable and self-consistent moral philosophy you can have! Of course, in real life you need to plug in some numbers and do some math - it's not a binary problem. If you really believe every life is sacred and "a ridiculous police-state is justified to defend the individuals within our society", then why haven't we banned cars yet? And jailed all the drivers? As a group, they kill people. They kill a lot more than any terrorist attack ever.
