Being placed near a crime scene, being accused of an act of terrorism =
up to 30 days in jail *without charge* (This is UK and our government
considers that LOW!). Innocent or not I don't see my family for a month
and likely cause problems for my employer. Personally I'd rather not be
a suspect in that when I'm entirely innocent, this is something an
innocent man *can* worry about, when it comes to privacy invasion.

Ben Franklin once said some wise words, which I'm sure anyone in this
debate is familiar with. He wasn't wrong.
