> Why do the Food Standards Agency need access?

Here's a nasty example of where this is going. Agencies will be able to compile "watches" on searches across the UK.

The Food Standards Agency will have a trigger for anyone that searches for "Salmonella" for example. They then cross reference the source IP address to any restaurants. Then they march in there and close it down.
