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.

So from your post I gather that you would be quite comfortable if one day the police detained you, took your stuff, searched your place, took DNA samples from you and very probably entered your record in to database never to be deleted again (just in case), just because you decided to wear a jacket and check your phone for messages.
It would be all right with you because that would make your country "safer".
It`s always easy when it happens to someone else....
