I didn't have my camera yesterday which was unfortunate, because I saw the ultimate security nonsensity.

I was at The International Australian Airshow (at Avalon) and there on the flightline was a row of executive jets as well as Military and so on. The USAF was there, there are large numbers of military from all over the world, lots of medals etc. Security searched bags going in, security men everywhere.

Right in the middle of the flight line was a nice shiny new Pilatus PC-12 on display - owned by the West Australian Police no less - and it had a clamp lock on the nosewheel
