A few specific attack failures does not necessarily mean bulk signals intelligence is useless.
Frankly, both regular policework (HUMINT, usually) and SIGINT have to be employed. The question is how to limit the SIGINT so you're actually ethically collecting and analyzing what matters and what directly concerns a target, rather than slurping up everything and storing it for later scanning or "just in case".

Even if some get caught they will adapt their tactics until they get through. An effective response would/should take a different tack than just more surveillance of the whole population.
