News: London nailbomber used the Net

[Caspar Bowden]

It occurs to me that if the tabloids or Home Office try and connect RIP to
the Copeland case, it should be pointed out that since he downloaded the
bomb manuals from a cybercafe, GTAC wouldn't have been able to catch him
even if they HAD traffic data of all the dodgy site downloads going back
several years for the whole UK. Unless they put CCTV or compulsory Webcams
in every cyber café - bloody hell, mustn't give them ideas...

And if they say that another bomber might make the mistake of accessing such
material through their own ISP account, that would rather tend to confirm
that Big Browser WILL be watching you - which the the Home Office
strenuously deny.
