“A convicted terrorist will serve additional time in jail after he was found guilty of refusing to supply police with the password for a memory stick that they could not crack. The refusal was contrary to section 53 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, the UK’s wiretapping law. Police had issued Hussain with the notice under section 49 of RIPA to force him to let the cops into his USB stick. Along with three other men, Hussain pleaded guilty to plotting to use a remote-control toy car to plant a homemade bomb at the TA centre. The suspects were arrested before any preparations for an attack were put together.”
