It's a masterpiece of well phormed understanding!

The only bit I really did not understand (maybe someone can help me here) is in para. 37, "The authorisation of interception is hedged about with safeguards". I really cannot comprehend the meaning of that sentence. Believe me, I tried to today. Is this 'hedged about' meaning 'surrounded by'? Maybe I need a vino and it will become clear!

Hedging can have many uses in language but in this case I think it merely states ( not having taken it in context ) that the authorisation is not easy to obtain being protected ( hedged about ) by safeguards.
