Suspected terrorism at Gatwick

But there wasn't any terrorism in the end, otherwise we'd probably know about it.

So it's not necessarily a terrorist attack on a plane at Gatwick (or the airport itself), but an arrest on someone who is wanted for questioning over links to Syria?

This is exactly the sort of sinister policing we now have in this country where a vaguely named and scary piece of legislation such as the Terrorism Act is used to arrest people on all sorts of charges. It's the reason why I dread another terrorist attack, not simply because of the death and damage - but more so because I know we'll be sure to lose yet more civil liberties and freedoms as the great unwashed call for Big Brother to protect them from something you can't be protected from.
