Every time it's the crime and terrorism excuse. Does the government realise we have seen through their pathetic oft recycled rhetoric? As has been said time again, the criminals and terrorists will always find a way to circumvent any measures the politicians may introduce. This is due to the ill-thought through ham fisted way it would be designed and introduced. Not to mention the billions of pounds the taxpayer would have to forfeit. Some Whitehall quangos have too much power and access to the nation's cash. The only way round to track everyone is to electronically tag the whole population and rig these devices to explode the moment they detect any interference. Oh Rats! I've just given the powers that be an idea!
