Its true that "the war on terror" does on the balance push things in a statist situation; but other than airport security its effect on the country as a whole is relatively moderate.

Moderate?

Only if you consider the following to be moderate:

Absolute power for the POTUS
Disregarding habeus corpus
Renditions
Torture as policy
Limitless surveillance w/o Congressional oversight

I see these as a bit more than moderate.
