Stupidly expensive, doesn't work, even if it did work is no defence against a terrorist with a suitcase bomb (more likely than a terrorist with an ICBM), can lead to a false sense of security and complacently with dire consequences, can provoke another arms race if some countries feel they need counter measures just in case a day should come where it does work, etc.
