Well try taking the measures away and see what happens.
I understand your second point and perhaps I was referring to the need for vigilance rather than intruding into personal liberties. 'Looking' doesn't necessarily mean searching people at x-ray machines or analysing their payment/travel/eating habits to decide if they are a risk or not (the recent fiasco with Cat Stevens makes a good commentary on that).
