| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Great result. Security must be vigilant, and certainly carefully targetted. Our muslims object strongly to such searches, claiming that it is racist and they appear to be unable to understand the reasons for the attention. But we have had known and hunted terrorists escaping justice by leaving our air-ports under false papers, men posing as women in full Islamic garb. We are very reluctant even to ask them to show their faces for passport comparison. Absolutely ridiculous and perilous; our opponents think we are soft and stupid. At the moment they appear to be correct in that opinion.
