Yeah because the real purpose of these laws is to control the citizens, as ever more unrest in future is a given, for just about any country. Nothing except physically shackling every human being is going to stop crazy terrorists from ploughing through a crowd in a vehicle, but mark my words, you'll find western 'democracies' employing technology in literally every sphere of life to ostensibly control these 'terrorists' although the end result will be a dystopia of totally controlled citizenry that will find it impossible to break their chains unless they're prepared to die.
I would add that it aids criminals. Devious minds will adapt and work around such invasive laws. (excluding lazy criminals of course) The average person will not even research this. The end result will be petabytes of citizen data sitting on some government servers or amazon S3 buckets that will end up on the black market.
They're utterly ineffective at their stated goals. The targets are largely unaffected.
However, the average person is affected. And can be deeply affected.
