It`s really scary how basic citizen rights are being eroded here and this will only get worse.

Well let's see. Let's run two different potential realities side by side.
In one, some people are inconvenienced by the police and there is one bomb attack per year.
In another, no-one is inconvenienced by the police and there are 5 bomb attacks per year.
I think I'd rather have my limbs intact and perhaps suffer the occasional inconvenience.
For anyone who thinks it's more important to never be stopped by the police for behaving suspiciously than to live in greater safety, I would suggest that they cut off their arm, gouge out one of their eyes and go and live in a country which does not give a crap about protecting it's citizens from terrorists.
