Why do we need all these new laws... I'm pretty damn sure I saw a copy of the Crimes Act Aviation (1963) which back in the 80s was the current version - interestingly imposing the death penalty for 'placing a device on an aircraft' and I am pretty damn sure it included penalties for hoaxes.

Are these new laws necessary or are politicians just stroking... well, something... and using the scare tactic again???

Don't get me wrong, I think the laws should be water tight but I get the distinct impression in many of these cases current statutes cover the offenses but they insist on passing additional laws that feature the word 'terrorism' just to try and scare the populace into thinking we're under siege.
