"NSW police will be vested with unprecedented 'sneak and peek' powers to combat terrorism, including warrants to search properties without telling the occupant they have done so.
Under plans announced yesterday, police will not have to notify the occupant for six months that they had searched the premises. They would also be able to bug terror suspects continuously for up to three months."
