I don't really know if many innocent people end up in the crossfire since they are, by definition, hanging out near serious terrorist threats, but I agree with you about the slippery slope. As long as there aren't more well defined boundaries for this policy and better built-in safeguards, the slippery slope is a danger.

Obamacare’s fix for an American health care system that the federal government long ago broke, is to give the federal government far more power over American health care; that its solution to escalating health costs is to mandate greater health benefits (and, hence, higher costs); and that its solution to the pricey overreliance on pre-paid health plans — offered by insurance companies in lieu of real insurance — is to have the government require Americans to buy those pre-paid health plans under penalty of law.
