And ignore the very principles of democracy? Not to mention that annoying little thing called "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights"?

That is the risk you will have to take. If a democratic country decides to bypass the principles of democracy and human rights, it really is no better than Nazi Germany. Everyone, even a terrorist, is innocent until proven guilty. As for terrorists exploding themselves to avoid capture, well, that would save the tax payers quite a lot of money...
