These efforts are often criticized based on civil liberties abuses. But, convinced that terrorism is an “existential” threat, many people are perfectly comfortable overlooking these abuses. In their new book, Chasing Ghosts: The Policing of Terrorism, Cato’s John Mueller and Mark G. Stewart of the University of Newcastle, Australia, aim the very premises of U.S. counterterrorism operations. Is terrorism truly a significant threat? Are most would-be terrorists actually skilled enough to pull off an attack? Is it true that we can “never be safe enough”? Mueller and Stewart examine the methods of the FBI, National Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and local policing agencies, revealing the government’s exaggerated claims about the “threats” they divert. The question, they write, is not whether any real terrorists exist — but whether the chase is worth the cost.
