Tuolta pprune:n puolelta tarttui mukaan lainaus joka ironisuudessaan olisi lähinnä huvittavan naurettava, jos ei puhuttaisi näinkin vakavasta asiasta:

 

 

 

 

(from Guardian and Wall Street Journal)

 

"Nothing takes the shine off a holiday like coming home to a treason charge, but as radical Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed ponders whether it'll just be too much of a downer to return from his break in Beirut, the issue of airport checks seems vaguely topical. And once again, it is left to the Americans to demonstrate that their fabled struggle to get to grips with irony is no bar to an intelligent engagement with security procedures for air travellers. US troops deploying to Iraq from Savannah, Georgia, are required to surrender any of those personal accoutrements that could be used as weapons before boarding their chartered airliner, according to a report from the Air Finance Journal picked up by the Wall Street Journal. On a recent flight soldiers of a national guard unit, the 48th Brigade Combat Team, were advised by their CO that they could hang on to their assault rifles, combat shotguns, pistols, bayonets and body armour. Unfortunately, though, they would need to give up any nail scissors, pocket knives or cigarette lighters at the gate. Thoughtful work."
