I guess you will probably have to allow a little 'Politicians Leeway' here.

Have you not noticed that lately everything is getting the anti-terrorist label stuck on it. Airport get a necessary upgrade to its radar or car washing facility and it all comes out of the terror funds because it looks good..... for the politico....

I have no doubt that this tired refurbished old BK will have a part to play in an anti-terror role, but equally I suspect the tired old NSW police fleet will have a greater role to play even though they were bought with pre-911 funding and there is not real mileage to be had from showing them off too.

And its going to be the same across the World.

Or am I being just too cynical for words?
