    It's absurdity on such a monumental Orwellian scale, one almost wonders if this kind of thing is pre-planned (not on the poor woman's part) as a distraction to all the 'real' stuff going on behind the scenes.

    so we can scan children in machines that show all their bits, but a three inch plastic weapon that belongs to a figurine is banned, it is truly amazing the amount of common sense that has been removed from our world by bureaucracy
