Re: Life sentence
So they have to use Part III, Section 49 of RIPA instead of the anti-terrorism legislation they used the first time around.
What practical difference does that make to the guy just being released? "Oh, this time I'm in gaol because of RIPA rather than anti-terrorism legislation." I doubt this pedantry will offer much in the way of comfort.
Whichever way you cut it, don't forget your password and don't use hidden-volume encyption. If possible, try to avoid being black.
