When terrorist attacks are carried out using Bitcoin will there be a backlash?

[gabriella]

say in the near future osama bin laden successfully detonates a dirty nuke in nyc.

in the ensuing investigation it is revealed he use bitcoin to finance the terrorists inside america as well as use it to buy the radioactive substance.

will there be a severe backlash against bitcoin and the people who use it, until bitcoin is destroyed?

will obama order bitcoin users treated with drone killings and night raids by seal team 6?
