West Coast,
I do respect what you say about the double standards (BTW, I'm Australian, and always love a bit of Pommie bashing........and getting it back
).
However, I don't subscribe to the "Well, you're just as bad (or worse) than us" argument, especially reference an issue such as this. Security breaches like this are concerning, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that even without a weapon, ammunition can be dangerous.
