dontdoit ... it's no laughing matter
Granted that the AAIB might be "one of the last bastions of consummate professionalism" it nevertheless does not operate in a vacuum.
I do not denigrate the integrity of the AAIB by my comment about the Beijing Olympics. If the activation of restrictions is not required until the onset of winter why not avoid false, unwarranted passenger hysteria by delaying the release of the publication until after that event. That's just common sense and would support your view of the AAIB as consummately professional.
