It's high time that people realize that if we impose too many security restrictions then the terrorists win, and we have lost the very society we are trying to defend. The sad truth is that sometimes people will die due to terrorist attacks, the same way that sometimes people will die when we drive on roads. We should be putting resources into intelligence, and into disaster responce. In addition, when people show how blatantly poor security like this is, then they should be thanked, not arrested. A good blog on security matters is www.schneier.com/blog/ here here.

It looks like they are just testing how much the authorities can get away with. The whole of the Sydney metroplitian area has been given a day off with pay. Incredible.
