ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the stopping and searching of people on a suspicionless basis for the purpose of interdicting terrorist activity. Such stops and searches are an example of ‘all risks’ policing, where police proceed on the basis that everyone is a potential risk.1 All-risks policing is a reaction to a situation where traditional markers such as nationality and citizenship are no longer reliable indicators of potential threat, as the involvement of citizens and long-term residents in recent terrorist attacks and plots in the United States and United Kingdom attests.2
