The missing piece is to be able to detain, restrict, or eliminate all the suspicious people. The US has lagged a little behind the other Western countries that only recognize collective rights, but once you have demonstrated that surveillance works to identify bad guys, there will be increasing support to do something, and rounding them up won't be a problem.
