#1 The shorter, plumper lad appears to have a partially used roll of '90mph tape' hanging from his kit. Is he expecting to attach even more pieces of gear? Glad he remembered his 'mag bag.' No sense littering the premises with candy wrappers and soda cans.

The comments were worthy, quite worthy.

#2 As the InstaProf would point out, the militarization of our constabulary continues. This is 'militarism' rather than 'military' as the imagery and regalia overwhelms the intent or function of the organization. It unfortunately lends more credence to the term 'Police State' that alienates the population from what used to be a 'beat cop'.

#5 Gads! What were they thinking when they designed those? Why did they agree to wear them? The only thing they could have done worse is to make them pink.

OTOH, if I came up against one of those guys wearing a tutu, he'd probably have the upper hand because I'd be laughing so hard and he'd probably be pi$$ed off for having to wear that "uniform".

#6 >At least their" booger hook is off the bang switch"

Yes rather worryingly U.K. Airport securitate walk around with their fingers over the trigger of their MP5's.
