I love how their getting to the curb at the hotel before getting arrested is considered success. What's failure?
Oh, and were I a local cafe being asked not to give patrons forks and knives, I'd be politely asking the officials in question to go fuck themselves with a rusty chainsaw.
No no, I mean, the security weenie called arresting them at the curb a success, so what's HIS criteria for having failed at life? Because seriously, if they had been a real group of terrorists? Sydney be missing a few buildings and several countries would be doing that whole 'next in line' thing.
Wow. The foreign minister must be trying really hard to spin this. Sure they were arrested, because each vehicle wasn't full of several hundred pounds of explosives.
I'm a bit amused/saddened that they pretended to be a Canadian motorcade.
Oh, and watch clips from their show. It's hilarious. Particularly the Trojan horse thing I linked to a few days ago.
I can almost see it now, disembarking from the black vehicles dressed in lumberjack jackets, tuques and snowshoes, Bin Laden with a stuffed beaver under one arm and an open bottle of Moosehead beer in the other. "My buddies and me, we're like, terrorists, eh? So you should act like real scared, eh?" Then someone would drop a tennis ball and they'd all play road hockey.
They didn't have fake car bombs, actually, but they did have a fake Bin Laden. They expected to be stopped at the first checkpoint but were waved through, then they were waved through the second checkpoint.

We're paying $1,000,000 per day for this security. A low-budget satirical show on the public broadcaster showed what it is worth.
