In his interview with Dave Rubin he explained it differently (or at least I understood it differently) - he said that if they don't do it - it being prevent terrorist attacks - with technology + current assaults on civil liberties (i.e. the PATRIOT Act), then after new terrorist attacks, even more legislation will be passed, eroding civil liberties even further. He based this on US political response in wake of the 9/11 attacks.
