Every email and website to be stored by government

Ah, but your average Johnny Terrorist will try to be cunning and not put that in his emails. All the spooks need to do is lock up anyone who doesn't use at least five of those words in every email.

Indeed PRC1964, but the state have another cunning plan: when Johnny Terrorist strolls up to another Johnny Terrorist underneath a lamp post to discuss their cunning plans, inshallah, the ever watchful plod will have pre-empted their wicked deeds via the use of their sophisticated lamp post web cams.

What could possibly go wrong?

Lots. Some tester can send a big invoice for finding just a few of the things that can go wrong.

Someone on another thread suggested this might be a day to bury bad news.

Is this it?
