More stop and quiz terror powers
Police officers would be able to stop and question people
Proposed new anti-terror laws could give police greater powers to stop
and question anyone in the UK.
The proposal, allowing police to ask people about their identity and
movement, is among measures being considered by Home Secretary John Reid.
The new legislation would be similar to that already used in Northern
Ireland.

"And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't
there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you
had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have
censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting
your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are
those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but
again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into
a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War,
terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt
your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in
your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you
order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent,
obedient consent."--V for Vendetta
