Unfortunately the tools available to terrorists continue to change and so must the measures used to fight them.

From what I know, the current problem is not the lack of information, but how well it is targeted. For example, we knew about the terrorists in France in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_2017_%C3%8Ele-de-France_...

Also, many think that the war on terror made more harm to the humanity then what we would have otherwise. At least such invasive war.
