APEC's $250m Security Cracked By Comics
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22376204-5006022,00.html

The Team from hit ABC television show The Chaser's War on Everything have been charged after driving a convoy through APEC's $250 million security blockade.

The comics from ABC's satirical The Chaser's War on Everything left authorities red-faced yesterday after the security breach only metres from the Sydney hotel where US President George W. Bush is staying.
Eleven people were charged, including stars Chas Licciardello, who sat in the back of one of the cars dressed as Osama bin Laden, and Julian Morrow, who posed as a security guard running alongside.

The 10 men and one woman were last night charged under new APEC laws on entering a restricted area without justification.

Police are furious about the prank.

"I don't see a funny side to what's happened today. I don't see a funny side at all," NSW Police Minister David Campbell said.

1. A few people are dangerous. The rest want to have their peaceful say.
Treat all of them the same cause "you can't tell them apart. They all look alike." Yeah, it used to be separate but equal based on race, now it is separate but equal based on politics. Why don't they just set aside a time and allow the public to express their views to the so-called "leaders." What would be the harm. Make these leaders stand or sit for a day or two while ordinary people explain their points of view to them. Maybe the "leaders" would become more realistic about the basis of their power. After all, they travel on the peoples' dimes.
