[ScanIndiana] scanning illegal in United Kingdom

[CAL MERRITT]

IT IS ALSO ILEGAL TO:

own a handgun of any kind
carry an air rifle, pistol, bb gun off your property
fox hunt

AND NEXT:

own an "assult knife"

someone explain to me the difference between an assult
knife and a BIG meat cleaver....

sorry, this is not exactly a scanner theme....but it
seems in the UK now just about EVERYTHING is illegal. 
you can check their crime rates and see how well it is
working......
