Police work is not a science. It's hit and miss. There is something in law called the "balance of probability"; there is also "reasonable doubt"; and finally "on suspicion of...". None of these things are definite, a lot of it is to do with judgement.
By the way, what would you think if a spot check caught a terrorist with a bomb? Would you still think his civil rights had been violated, as long as he hadn't detonated it (yet)?
