this has nothing to do with political correctness

How necessary is this policy?
This policy is necessary in order to acclimatise the population (a.k.a 'the sheep') to a state of continuous monitoring and scrutiny, naturally "for their own protection".
​
just read some German history, circa late 1930's.

At what scale does this policy becomes untenable?
If the policy's ultimate goal is our protection from terrorists then it has already become untenable, as the police just don't have the resources to fully enforce it.
​
If, however, its purpose is the gradual introduction of blanket surveillance, then this is a realistic means of achieving it.

The innocuous (i.e. not the shoebomber) white terrorist acting on the small scale is virtually unstoppable without sacrificing western infrastructure (as we are today)
​
didn't you mean to write "... without sacrificing western liberty.." ?

let's make it available to the public
I sincerely hope the evidence for this plot becomes available to the public quickly.
​
And by evidence, I mean the explosives, detonators, statements of intent, etc.
​
Not the "he had an airplane poster on his bedroom wall", kind of evidence.
