In the US politicians used the death of a real person (multiple people
actually) to further their careers and do the 911 legislation.  No one
seemed to complain that the government was using peoples death to
further the reach and power of the FCC, grow peoples careers, and so
forth.  

They didnt even offer a solution to it, they just passed laws requiring
a solution.
