Lawyer reviewing terror laws and special powers: Definition of 'terrorism' is too broad

Re: I have argued for many years

So here in the Untied Snakes, when asked why I don't own a firearm, I replied, "I'm an engineer. I can do worse with what's on the shelf at my supermarket." End of conversation, as my hearer sidled nervously away. So could any intelligent teenager FWIW.

We kill more of our fellows with automobiles than firearms anyway; an online acquaintance there in the UK wrote some years ago he was going to print bumper stickers reading:

"I'll start worrying about terrorists when I can stop worrying about motorists."

Watch out! There's a man with turban driving a car! Call the Army! Call the police! Call me a taxi!
