Waiting for Lunchtime

Another kneejerk reaction

In the news today, it was announced that the Government is to bring in a ban on violent pornographic images. Which is probably a good thing, but the article then goes on to state that it would be illegal to view "material featuring violence that is, or appears to be, life-threatening or is likely to result in serious and disabling injury".

So if I were to look at, say, a picture of one of the planes hitting the WTC five years ago, surely that's an image "featuring violence that is, or appears to be, life-threatening or is likely to result in serious and disabling injury". Will it now be illegal to see that?
