There's a social phenomenon[1] where people are disproportionately critical of their socio-economic peers who try to cheat their way up the ladder. Benefits cheats. Tax dodgers. Petty smuggling. Daytime TV is littered —perhaps deliberately— with shows covering these sorts of crimes.
My point is you don't even need to wheel out terrorism every time to get this stuff through comfortably. You can just play the social injustice card.
[1]: I've completely forgotten the name of it. I've read a few studies on this and they're just amazing how strongly people feel about people unfairly getting one over on them. If anybody reading this knows the name of what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate a reply to remind me.
