1st impressions

Well it's 8:43am Sydney time and i've just arrived in the office. I'm sure the government means well but security here is so poor it's not funny. Walking down Phillip St, where I work and apparently one of the 'secure zones', I was not stopped by any police officers, nor was i searched or scanned with any kind of metal detector. There was a large show of force by the police and a 5m tall fence wrapped around the street with cars blocked off but a determined assassin could best any of those. Entering a building under the guise of a delivery person, killing the occupants inside and open firing on the president as soon as he got out of the car is a very real possibility.
I work right across the street from the Prime Minister's office and i've heard that Bush is making a visit today so it will be interesting to see what happens.

More later friends :)
