The cable/cybershop owner/operator who failed to take snapshots or install cameras will be hauled over coal. For the actual terrorist, there'll be discussions in parliament to overrule SC sentencing and dharans and "hunger"-fast in remote capitals of the world.

This is like when George Bush was asked as to what suspicious behavior was, he responded that 'if you see someone hovering around farm aircraft filled with fertilizers, you ought to report him'. Sorry can't roll my eyes high enough.
For someone who grew up being told to avoid touching any unattended radios/transistors in bus/trains, such "advise" is absolutely worthless.

Well in our colorful nation, it's a matter of who advocates this line of reason. If say Manmohan says this (despite his dismal record of having more terrorist incidents and body count on his watch than his predecessor), we'll raise our glass of wine and and applaud him as a visionary. If some CM of a non-Congress aligned state (Modi, Patnaik, Nitish, Yeduriappa etc) says this, we'll have hooman rights people and card-carrying seculars descend upon him before you could spell c-o-m-m-u-n-a-l.
