Back in the time after 9:11 they (the red coloured torys) passed some draconian anti-terror laws in the UK (well at least in England and Wales, I’m not so sure about Scotland and Norniron), basically no habeas corpus if the word “terrorism” is involved.

They were exactly worried that judges might put on a ‘reasonable person’ wig, or do something even more damaging to the free world like ask to see some evidence.
