>> 100% security is only possible if we monitor every thought of every person on this planet

No it isn't because no agency has enough manpower or resources to follow up on every lead a 'terrorist detection model' generates. Catching bad guys isn't all tech. At some point, a human being has to get involved to investigate if they're actually planning to commit an attack.

There is no such thing as 100% security. Maximum security prisons are an example of this fallacy.
