This is a general, speculative point. We know that when "terror suspects" are involved, it is considered a case where the due process of law goes out the window, and we feel that is justified for the greater good.
My line of thought is: how flexible is the definition of "terror" . . .
Also: given a power such as this, how likely is it that it will be abused? If so, how long before it is abused? And in that case, will it be too late for us to be able to determine the difference, the veil of secrecy having been established by our current actions?
