I digress even further. I said "often" not always.

On technical issues (that I have some knowledge of), I know that the pollies have been very poorly advised by so called "experts". eg aviation security "Arrest that pensioner! She has knitting needles and hand cream!!"
plus confiscating the Pilot's toothpaste (more than 100ml)...humm...if I continue this line of thought I'm only going to get cranky...
