Well that depends on whether or not one characterises all animal-rights
activists as terrorists, or differentiates between those who use bombs,
and those who take less drastic action to protect animals' welfare. The
article in question does not clarify which the suspects are supposed to
be, and it's unclear whether or not the authorities make much effort to
make that distinction either. As someone who might also tend to support
action against animal cruelty, I don't relish the prospect of having my
computer seized, and demands issued for passwords based on the bullshit
hypothesis that I "might be a terrorist", for no better reason than the
fact that I sympathise with the cause. That's not justice, it's another
form of terrorism called totalitarianism.
