The problem is, it just drives the worst offenders deeper into
the underground. Drug trafficking and terrorism have been
targets of detection and prosecution, and overall this appears
to have made those problems worse, in some ways, than they might
otherwise have been. Of course that's a judgment call, and there
is no way to perform the experiment to find out for sure.
I would prefer to see development of a social climate in which
it is so universally acknowledged that such attacks are not
acceptable that ordinary people take steps to stop it when they
detect it, instead of delegating the problem to government
agents.
