Along with the obvious legal points made below, I also believe there are important social/cultural points. Which is to say, better (subconscious) threat modeling. For many Americans, the word "terrorist" conjures an image of, e.g. a Muslim foreigner. Data and experience suggests that the above is very not likely, and also, that domestic terrorism is likely more of an issue. In other words, you get clarity, which reduces fear at best, and helps people more accurately threat model at worst.
