It's amazing at how terrorism has been re-defined. When I was a kid you had to blow up skyscrapers or planes (or both at the same time), set off bombs in a crowded area, or a specifically targeted mass shooter to be labelled a terrorist.
It is pretty informative, even in the dramatic context of the show, to see police interactions and the respect for / erosion of individual rights when you view the seasons before 9/11/2001 and after 9/11/2001.
The cast of 24 was brought to run a panel for the Heritage Foundation in one of their gatherings.
And it's ironic because there are clearly "real terrorists" (i.e. 9/11 guys).

It was a different world when you were a kid. People weren’t as incendiary in their speech.
