I don't think we are living in a police state either. However I can't see why we need new legislation or emergency powers. Maybe you right and they do actually prevent terrorism and are only used in specific circumstances. I'm not convinced though.
Things like randomly searching members of the public and publicity campaigns like this strike me as at best useless and waste of resources and at worst divisive and fearmongering.
