22 August 2013 - Schedule 7
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Schedule 7 is a secret organization of men in black. The cover story says
it’s part of the U.K. Terrorism Act 2000, but how does that work? The
cover is that the police can detain people in the airport without
suspicion and compel them to answer questions, solely to find out if
they are somehow supporting terrorism. Only men in black can detain
people to intimidate journalists and steal their secrets.
clue:
They’ve stretched out of shape the already broad provisions of the
Terrorism Act 2000. They’re claiming that carrying data from Snowden
constitutes “instigating” terrorism, which the Act defines precisely:
It requires danger of breaking stuff or hurting people. Unlikely to
pass the High Court.
give me a clue so sweet and true
