So they get you for lying on the application - which can be criminal, even if they won't have proof the actual act. It's quite a standard practice.

How can they not have proof you are lying about being a terrorist if they don't have proof you are a terrorist, thus lying? Are you sure it's not ridiculous?

It easier to prove the existence of plans rather than intents. For the former a few messages about what building should be blown up might be enough.

You'd figure they can get them for terrorists.

It's crazy how law-oriented people are in the US. I'm sure they don't do bad things only because It iS ThE LaW, not because they are bad.

But if they can’t prove that you committed a terrorist act or we’re planning to then there’s no proof that you lied in the application…
