It's worse than that. The pigs have a LOT more options for ways to punish you and investigate you when you're labeled a terrorist. You lose most of your civil liberties and right to privacy from the likes of the NSA.
Counter-terrorism is also much more well-resourced so they could do a much more thorough investigation (alongside stripping the charged of their rights)
It's more like tacking hate crime charges onto a murder
Extra rough sentencing

Do US/NY terrorism charges also allow for more gagging of the media?
It's a NY state charge not fed tho so hopefully not too bad on that front
