Thought about this for a day before responding. This really isn't a valid arguement. It could be used for an legislation/regulation/etc. Nobody can predict the future, and arguing an unknown future misuse as justification for potential bad legislation is dangerous. Afterall, isn't that want the anti's argue about the 2nd ammendment? Our founding fathers would have been hard pressed to envision repeating firearms?

I don't know if this EO is going to turn out to be potentially dangerous or not, but my initial fears concerning the EO are much less now that I have a better understanding how Interpol interacts with US LE, and has no independent capability to attempt to enforce law in this country.
