Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password
judgecorp writes "Syed Hussain, already serving time for helping to plot attacks against UK targets, got another four months for refusing to divulge the password of a USB stick the police and GCHQ wanted to examine. The USB was believed to contain data about a suspected fraud unconnected with national security, and Hussain claimed to have forgotten it under stress, He later remembered it and it turned out to be a password he had used on other systems investigated by the police."

Anyone who commits a crime can be considered a terrorist it's actually a fairly broad term.
I've always said jaywalking was destroying this country.

"Does this dress make my butt look fat?" strikes terror into any man who's ever heard it! By definition making all women terrorists.
