Incompetent Clowns

The shrill reporting by much of the British media over the attempted acts of terrorism in the UK last weekend is beginning to bring on a Victor Meldrew moment in me. Luckily, Lewis Page, writing in The Register, provides a countering voice. It struck me as an odd place to find his piece (The Register reports on IT matters in a manner that reminds me of the satirical magazine Private Eye), but then I discover that Mr. Page has been a bomb disposal expert in the past. So I assume that he knows whereof he writes.
