Surely a simple solution would be for the same rules to apply to the neddys in the DfT? (Or should it be dAft) Same so called security on their place of work, same stupidity getting in to work each day, tea flask confiscated etc. should focus their minds a little and then the 'minister' responsible would see what is really happening out there? There again probably he's (or is it a she) never actually had to move in the real world for a few years?
