Yes - but I think that, like the provision in part 1, it may actually 
turn out to be essentially meaningless.

The part 1 proviso is as close to being semantically meaningless as I 
can determine - there is perhaps a small gap, in that comms data 
consists of traffic, use and subscriber data rather than just traffic 
data, and only looking for traffic data is excluded from being 
interception - but I cannot think of any situation offhand where that 
would make any difference.




just avoiding the chore of analysing the draft, should get back to that,
