    That was an accident. this ones were not, and wasnt exactly transporters on the ground. Weddings, schools, sports, funerals and other "suspicious" meetings of people, most civilians, by far, and that in a lot of countries. Yes, there are been a lot of terrorist attacks this last decade. But the head of the organization behind them wasn't hidden in caves or under false names, but sit in the White House.

      You are justifying that the government level your entire neighbourhood (including you, and not deserving people including children) because someone 3 blocks away could know someone that is a suspect? You would describe as peaceful your life if you don't know if next time you cross the street something will fall from the sky killing you or whoever you care about, just because a bearded man near there looked like another in a blurry photo? Maybe is not terrorism only because the word is too weak to describe what is happening there.
