As Kagro says, the "right kind of activism"...

Terrorism Act 2000: Stopped at Birmingham International Airport

Terrorism Act 2000 urgent alert to all activists coming into the UK As far as I know this law has been used to detain and question activists only once before at a sea port so has rarely been used by police against activists. Two of us were detained last night on flying back from Oslo and arriving at Birmingham and I feel that it is important that other activists are aware of these extraordinary police...
