Wow, now THAT was security. Everywhere you looked, police was there. Definetely overkill. Police arrested a man for jaywalking, and arrested people for being in the restricted zone when they weren't in the restricted zone. Er, ok. They beat peaceful protestors and pushed everyone around. Yep, definetely security overkill.
Funny how comedy team Chaser's War on Everything could get past two security checkpoints. This is what happened. They were planning on going to the first security checkpoint with fake passes, and getting rejected. Good for a laugh.
However, police accepted these passes and let them through! They kept going through the city, pretending to be the Canadian motorcade, with the flag and everything, and police didn't even realize that the Canadian leader hadn't even arrived yet. They stopped 10m in front of Bush's hotel, where Chas went out of the car, dressed up as Osama bin Laden.
That's APEC security for you.
Overall, horrible couple of days, and the only good part was the public holiday.
