  • Improve focused surveillance of people who might commit large-scale terrorism (this is controversial because excessive surveillance itself poses some risk)

Who do you mean with "people who might commit large-scale terrorism"? Militaries of nation states?

The prototypical case would be a rogue individual but military and other security institutions also pose danger that we ought to think about targeting.

Why should we worry more about rogue individuals than about the institutions itself? Most of the people killed by those organisations aren't killed by rogue operatives.
