I've heard it explained as a way to make your sentence harsher in case you are a terrorist and get caught. not only you were planning to do bad things, but also LIED about it to the GUBMENT. DOUBLE CRIME

Thanks, that sounds plausible enough for me. Has Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking vibes, bureaucracy would love this, so I shall accept this as fact henceforth, and indulge my confirmation bias!

Killing those 20 people was pretty bad, but this extra charge for lying is what really adds up to the sentence.
