Hello Martijn,

I can't look into the heads of the people running the NSA or GCHQ, but terrorism (9/11, 7/7) was the direct reason for these organizations to
be given bigger surveillance powers.

Those were the *stated* reasons. There may well have been other reasons
and 7/7 & 9/11 used as a convenience.
