Yes.  Nothing new to me either.

I'm afraid that since I am an ex-Government employee I find it hard to 
accept that this Government really wants to reduce terrorism.  Or, do 
anything about it.  I've been blown up several times due to Gov and 
private security officers not doing their job when they were really only 
interested in pensions or promotion or political correctness or plain 
old fashioned cash in the hand (or suitcase).

I don't mean just one previous Government.  I mean all of them.  I find 
this to be sad in a country where people seem to think that we are 
allowed to vote to choose our future.

Oh... dear ... not quite technology based.  I'd better shut up leave 
it alone :)
