Terrorism *is* a crime.

Terrorism Act 2000
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/Acts/acts2000/20000011.htm

Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts2001/20010024.htm

The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005

I should point out that the above allows certain restrictions on suspects called
'control orders' that don't actually involve jailing them.

Restrictions permitted by the Act

Control orders may contain restrictions that the Home Secretary or a court
"considers necessary for purposes connected with preventing or restricting
involvement by that individual in terrorism-related activity", including:

restrictions on the possession of specified articles or substances (such as a
mobile telephone);
restrictions on the use of specified services or facilities (such as internet
access);
restrictions on work and business arrangements;
restrictions on association or communication with other individuals, specified
or generally;
restrictions on where an individual may reside and who may be admitted to that
place;
a requirement to admit specified indivuals to certain locations and to allow
such places to be searched and items to be removed therefrom;
a prohibition on an individual being in specified location(s) at specified times
or days;
restrictions to an individual's freedom of movement, including giving prior
notice of proposed movements;
a requirement to surrender the individual's passport;
a requirement to allow the individual to be photographed;
a requirement to cooperate with surveillance of the individual's movements or
communications, including electronic tagging;
a requirement to report to a specified person and specified times and places.

I do not recall specifically.

It's fairly obvious though that if some equipment interfered with normal broadcast
transmissions then the interfering equipment would have to be rectified.

You mean it wasn't widely known to be a problem.

Interesting. Here we have an example of BAH's arrogance which certainly has
never worked in this thread.

Well done.

You round up with this drivel, which simply shows your lack of
understanding.

Do you feel like every one is out to get you? Do you see conspiracies every
where you look? Do you feel like all the other nations are talking about you
behind your back?

I am sure just as many European politicians say this about the US as US
politicians say similar things about Europe.

You [*] are a prime example of this double standard. You try to say all the
good things have been done by the US, but anything remotely negative is down
to "European Broken thinking." The fact you are blind to the double standard
is massively entertaining.
