>But if law enforcement has a tactic that lets them catch, say, the stupidest 30% of terrorists, that's an extremely valuable tactic that probably saves a lot of lives in practice. Let's mix time frames. Should police be able to catch the laziest/stupidest 30% of people who sell weed? Of people who marry across racial boundaries? Of people who traffic freed property back north? Should the police be able to catch the 30% laziest gays? This is a ridiculous argument - now. But in 30 years when the US still has the laws, we have to understand there are social norms now that will be completely different and maybe people in the US won't want police to do their job.
