Just a shame that putting someone on a watchlist in Europe is the equivalent of meaningless.

A watch list for terrorism is sort of meaningless, seeing as you can't arrest someone until they've broken laws. 

The manchester bomber could've easily looked up how to make a nail bomb on tor, or at an internet cafe and the government are unaware. 

Also there's no real way of stopping people driving their car to go on the pavement and mow people over, unless you ban people from driving cars there isn't really much you can do. 

Current privacy laws in the EU also don't help with fighting terrorism. But the real reason why attacks mainly occur in Europe is because Europe is weak, unwilling to takw harsh measures againat terrorism and quite pathetic even. All the terrorists from Paris to London where known by the police some where even under investigation. Yet they could travel to Syria and back freely and Europe isn't changing a thing and hopes these attacks just stop for some reason. There is a reason why terrorism in the US is a lit rarer than in Europe.
