I'm glad I don't live in Australia. I have numerous items like the ones mentioned above. That certainly does not make me a terrorist.

This is just part of the evidence, they are not being prosecuted for having this in their possession, but for planning terror attacks.

Australia foils 'terror attack'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4416254.stm


Australian police say they have foiled a terrorist attack in the final stages of its preparation, after 16 people were arrested in Sydney and Melbourne.
New South Wales police chief Ken Moroney said a "potentially catastrophic attack" had been averted.

One suspect was shot and wounded during a raid in Sydney. Chemicals, weapons, and computers were seized, police said.

The raids involved about 500 police officers and followed a 16-month investigation, officials said.

"I'm satisfied that we have disrupted what I would regard as the final stages of a large-scale terrorist attack, or the launch of a terrorist attack," Mr Moroney told Australia's ABC radio.
