We have a program here in Oz called The Chaser's War on Everything. It's a comedy show that does lots of stunts in public. Recently they breached the security at the APEC conference in Sydney with a fake motorcade, with one of the crew dressed as Osama bin Laden.

I thought some of you foreigners might like to see how tight our security is here in Australia. I believe that several members of the Chaser team are now facing charges.

Holy shit, that was hilarious!

It's a good thing we spent that two hundred million and shut down the city for a week to protect all those leaders from protesto - er, terrorists.

Aside from the Chasers team, one guy was arrested for squirting a bottle of tomato sauce on a pro-Bush protestor, and another for crossing the road with his son in front of a motorcade - he was leavin an inner-city restaurant.

In discussions with a security expert, I was told that the fact that nothing actually happened is proof that the security acted as a deterrent, which is proof it was needed. So the absence of any violent incidents is proof of the need for security against... violent incidents. Presumably actual violent incidents would also prove we need lots of security? Yes, he told me.

So whatever happens, we need very tight security. Whatever you say, Sheriff Johnny!

Proof my arse. They got within ten metres of Bush's hotel with three cars. Imagine if those cars had been full of explosives.

Luckily, modern terrorists are idiots. They're not even as competent as a bunch of comedians.

Of course, terrorists can be stupid when our security forces are more stupid. Case in point, here's an image of the ID the Chaser guys flashed at the cops:
