Back in the 70s and 80s, terrorism was limited to the Baader-Meinhof Group, Italian Red Brigades, the Japanese Red Army, and the Palestine Liberation Organizations.
The trouble is our American cops seem to not pay attention to American right wing terrorists in this country until cops gets killed or wounded by them, then all of a sudden, they start playing attention. American cops seem to view civil rights organization, progressive, socialist movements, labor unions, striking labor workers, and individual Americans fighting for civil, political, economic, and social reforms as terrorists. Just recently, environmental groups are now labeled as terrorists.
Cops like Deke and Fox probably would not join a task force nowadays since they would realize how 9/11 and the laws that were approved after 9/11 have led to a loss of civil rights in this country and how anybody these days can be labeled as a terrorist when that person's only crime is exercising political, civil, and economic right to have a better life in this country and corporations and rich people don't want people to have those rights and use the police to crush them.
I do love how Deke spar with Hartmann about that he was a cop whose job was to protect lives and to bring the criminals to court and he was not going to be an murderer and then he walk out of the conference room.

And the Irish Republican Army (and various spin-off groups such as the Irish National Liberation Army) - although many seventh-generation Irish Americans (who had never set foot in Northern Ireland and were very ignorant of the realities of the situation there) regarded them as heroes and gladly gave money to IRA fund-raisers for many years... until 9/11 happened and America suddenly realised what terrorism actually entailed. Funding from the USA promptly dried up, and after America's invasion of Iraq, so did the support the IRA had received from Libya (who publicly named & shamed, then disowned, all the terror groups they had previously funded, trained and supplied with arms). Despite being in charge of the majority of organised crime in Ireland (drug dealing, protection rackets, illegal sales of green diesel, etc) the IRA were left practically broke, and had no choice but to abandon their murder and bombing campaign.
