Yes, when it comes to the law, if they mean things they should say them. It seems like they have used these generic terms in order to ensure there is zero weight on individual rights and maximum weight on the side of those exercising the power. That is, they really can't be bothered thinking through what powers they actually need and under what circumestances those are warranted, so let's just write "the government can do anything to accomplish the things" and put a story about a child rapist on the front of the legislation. It's lazy, imprecise and offensive to the idea of civil liberties.
