The new anti-terror legislation is quite draconian, this much is true.

Article 5, sections 3 and 4.

And to answer Deepflow's question: If groups of people want to plot to commit terrible acts of violence against innocent people on such scales like 9/11 and 7/7 et al, then i believe that they are effectively giving up their human rights.
