The definition of 'criminal' changes over time too but that doesn't prevent us from prosecuting those who we determine to be criminals today.

Regardless of how the subtleties of politics shift over time, someone who enters a country seeking to kill and destroy should not be a allowed inside regardless of what they're called.

The percentage of 'terrorists' we are talking about is so small, it's hardly worth considering. It's a waste of everyone's time, and privacy to spend looking through anyone's phone at an airport

The major crimes we still recognize haven’t changed since humans started scratching on clay tablets. Murder, theft, rape, assault/battery, etc. Who was counted as a person and who the manner of gaining justice has changed, but not the crimes.
