The whole "terrorism" crime category was always trap.

Since 9/11/2001 and Homeland Security regulations, it became evident that the threat of terrorism was a method to sell surveillance and restrictions by pulling the strings of fear.

We always had laws against all kinds of crimes before we adopted anti-terror laws. The difference is that terror laws don't require the same legal protections.

In order to reject the abuse of anti-terror laws we must reject "terrorism" as a valid crime category.
