	(a) establishing more serious offences for placing, or knowingly permitting to remain in a place, a trap, device or other thing that is likely to cause death or bodily harm to a person;
	(b) permitting the use of as much force as is reasonably necessary on board an aircraft to prevent the commission of an offence that would be likely to cause immediate and serious injury to the aircraft or to any person or property in the aircraft;
	(c) modifying the provision dealing with the provision of information on oath in relation to weapons; and
	(d) creating an exemption to the offence of intercepting private communications in order to protect computer systems.
