Seems to me that the litmus test for the authorities to hold anyone under this law should involve either:
(1) A known terror plot.
or
(2) Affiliation with an organization that has committed or is planning a known terror plot.
where "terror plot" represents a some act that causes direct physical harm to the citizens of a country.
If they cannot point to a specific, known terror plot or affiliation with an organization involved in one, then they should not have detained Miranda under this law.
If they consider bona fide journalism an act of terror, then they should be forced to come out and say so, so that the people can judge how the authorities are using or abusing their power and adjust the laws to correct them.
The citizens of the UK deserve to know what act of terror the UK government was protecting them from when they detained Miranda.
