Australian Summit Security At An All Time High, Or Not?

A group of comedians who do an Australian satirical show called The Chaser’s War on Everything, managed to slink by security officials by waving Canadian flags. Once through, one of the comedians got out of his vehicle dressed as Osama Bin Laden. Had security forces been on the ball the guy probably would have been shot.
The BBC reports:
The sham motorcade involved three large cars and two motorcycles carrying Canadian flags.
They were waved through two police checkpoints on what was one of the busiest days for the city’s security forces, as world leaders arrived for this weekend’s summit.
Police only moved in when one of the crew emerged from the car wearing a long fake beard and robes, close to the InterContinental Hotel where President Bush is staying.
All 11 members of the crew have been bailed after being charged with entering a secure area. Police are said to be considering further charges.
Makers of the programme, which is broadcast on ABC, said they had never intended to enter the Apec restricted zone in central Sydney.
My thoughts on this, tighten the security, boys.
