I can understand why governments would push for something like this after 9/11, though it of course goes without saying that this is a totally unacceptable violation of someone's basic rights. It also goes without saying that governments always want more control over their citizens, but what exactly are they so worried might happen, right now, in 2025 or the near future?

Their paid right wing politicians are getting the upper hand so they are preparing to go full Fascist again. The Liberals are paving the way so the Fascists have everything set for authoritarianism when they win the election.
