3 See Diplomacy of Counterterrorism, supra note 1 (why a law enforcement strategy is preferable to other alternatives).“Traditional crimes ” denotes proscribed conduct which is outlawed because it threatens“civilian ” interests such as physical safety and the security of property. See Brenner, supra note 2. Those who engage in this category of proscribed conduct do so for “ personal ”reasons, i.e., they kill for personal gratification or out of personal animus and they rob out of a desire to enrich themselves. Terrorists often engage in identical conduct but they do so for “ political,” not for personal reasons. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. 2331(1).

13 One difference is that real-world terrorists often inflict harm on a massive scale, defying the default one-toone assumption. Another is that it may be more difficult to identify patterns than it is with crime.
