In order to eliminate the possibility of terrorist attacks, an all-encompassing police state would be required. The cure would be far worse than the disease. It is therefore necessary that terrorist attacks always be possible, although hopefully without being actuated.

I doubt that an all-encompassing police state would be sufficient. I do think that education and a reduction of poverty goes a long way towards reducing the amount of terrorism that actually happens.
