"A lot of activity can be classified as terrorist or innocent depending on the context? So what?"
I agree. It's similar to the hype and accusations that come with porn busts. They always make it sound like it's all kiddie porn and LOTS of it: e.g.
one hundred magazines and twenty videotapes were confiscated
meaning that a few Hustlers and a lot of Playboys and Newsweeks were taken along with a Buttman video collection and the standard weekly videotapes of TV sitcoms.
Anything can sound bad in the wrong context and anyone can look suspicious and guilty when the TV stations play a tape of them at one-quarter speed as they do nothing more than walk normally.
