Al,

Thanks for the update - as you well know, what they do down there, eventually drifts up here!

I was particularly disappointed in the use of the 'homeland security' bullcrap. You can tell they are on thin ice when they trot out a sort of rights and freedom crushing 'law' like that for anything from illegal wiretaps, racial profilling, and the obviously unsavoury HMV owners - wankers!

That being said - why the fake interest in 'safety'? Old military vehicles have no fewer seat belts or air bags that Granpops old Model A - but are those antiques banned? I know that I would feel much safer inside a Ferret than the old Ford!

Please keep us posted on what the MVPA gang is doing about this disturbing issue. These attempts at social re-engineering make we worry ...

Thanks.
