day to day life? Day to day life was fine in Iraq under Saddam. That is not the point.

Here are some examples of the use of anti-terror legislation from the rather short report:

? the detention of more than 600 people during the 2005 Labour Party conference, including, famously, the detention of an 82 year old activist who had earlier been
evicted from the conference for heckling Jack Straw;
? the arrest of a pedestrian for walking along a cycle path in Dundee;
? the stopping and searching of an 11 year old girl who participated in a peaceful
protest at an RAF base;
? the detention of trainspotters at Motherwell, Reading, Slough and Croydon railway
stations;
? the detention of an 80 year old RAF veteran who carried a placard and war a t-shirt
with ?anti-Blair info?;
? the detention of a 21 year old student for taking pictures of the M3 motorway for a
web-design company.
