That's now beside the point - before RIP, under IOCA, domestic trawling
was ONLY permitted for counter-terrorism.

Now with RIP, domestic trawling is permitted for any of the usual
purposes (serious crime, econ wellbeimng, nat.sec), IF THERE IS A
S.16(3) over-ride certificate, and there is no longer any ref. to
"terrorism" per se in current interception legislation
