Just a  thought and a reference from the past if I may be so bold:   

"McCarthyism was the politically motivated practice of making  accusations 
of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for  evidence. 
The term specifically describes activities associated with the  period in the 
United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly  from the late 
1940s to the late 1950s and characterized by heightened fears of  communist 
influence on American institutions and espionage by Soviet  agents."

Now simply replace "communist influence" and "espionage by  Soviet Agents" 
with:  Terrorism and Al-Qaeda agents.    

Sorry for being so "off topic", but running "amok" is exactly the  right 
term.  Also spreading fear and taking away personal freedoms in the  name of 
security and safety.
