The same was also true a few years back about rights to protest, now if you enter London with the idea of a peacful demonstration you are required by law to gain a permit to do so.
Even beter yet you can get locked up under terrorist legislation and held (90days if Gordie Brown has his way) without trial.
Dont even get me started about freedom of speech.
Societies basic civil liberties have become so erroded since 911 that nothing a government body does any more surprises me.
I can see this government positively frothing at the mouth over the prospect of having yet another method of control over the populace, a quick edit to RIPA and a nice handshake with Phorm would allow the government to use the system to "profile terror suspects."
