in a way you are doing the jihadi recruitment yourself. it seems you learnt nothing from the past with ira. and you never will because you is just too thick to know what is right and what is wrong.
These powers serve no other purpose than to keep the public safe and the average person on the street has nothing to worry about.
It is invasive, but so is going through Airport Security, but generally people understand why and accept it. It's better to have such inconveniences than to have your own kids abducted by some over radical fuckwit. These terrorists exist, and they hate the way we live and the freedoms we have, and our religious beliefs or lack of.

Let's say there is another terrorist attack that kills 3000 people. For starters, it will result in another war with many more thousands of dead people and soldiers getting killed. I am pretty sure a few government powers that will work seamlessly in the background, is the lesser of these evils if it can result in avoiding the terrorist attack to begin with.
I am positive the Government is not interested in the GAY Porn sites you visit. However, if it is sites depicting male minors then you might have a bit of a problem so don't do that.
