Foolish is a tad strong methinks. But it does come across that you are sat somewhere in your ivory tower believing the world is a lovely place full of wonderful people. As for terrorism, it will never happen to you.
Fine, but don't whinge when you are affected by something that COULD have been prevented, but wasn't, all because the civil rights brigade thought the measures were "infringing civil liberties". The world is full of people who harm or wish to harm others, often indiscriminately. They show no compassion, and no respect for anyone's "rights". Fire needs to be fought with fire, and if that inconveniences a minority as opposed to allowing a minority to be killed, it seems a pretty simple choice to me.
