Arbitrary detaining 50,000 people per year, no right to remain silent, arrest and imprisonment if you refuse an arbitrary search...<p>Yup sounds like I need to avoid the UK too!

&gt;...the data is considered to have been “legally volunteered” under the Terrorism Act... the person searched “will not be directly told their phone is downloaded.”<p>Well isn&#x27;t that a choice bit of doublespeak.

What happens if I ask my friend (in my origin country) to change my password and only reveal the password to me if I&#x27;m not under investigation?
