That's what the governments want. They want you to cower in fear from the terrorists so that they can pass any draconian law they want and the people will thank them for it. The people who aren't fearing the terrorists then fear the government because they see what the government is doing. As you point out France is looking to change its constitution. Belgium is looking to do the same and there is even talk of passing some sort of Patriot Act style law.
