==================
 GJ> As far as I know, whenever our cops see anything that could possibly
 GJ> be a bomb, they call in the Army to examine and defuse.  This happens
 GJ> very rarely - say, once or twice a year.

What you're saying is that your landscape is already so blasted
that almost nobody bothers to try to further blast it.

 ML> Anyhow, water cannon is a more sensible solution.
 GJ> That would not make much of an impression on a sealed bomb.
 ML> Water cannon is the standard remote defusement. You could
 ML> look it up.
 GJ> I think the fire brigade would be the only user of such a device.
 GJ> Water is too precious to waste on protestors or potential bombs.

I thought 80% of the surface of the planet was water.

Extrapolating your experience isn't going to yield any insights
onto the rest of the world.

 GJ> Likewise in Norway, where the danger of a solitary religious extremist
 GJ> was demonstrated last year.

As usual, the authorities had been alerted to him, but
complacency took over. Plus nobody cared if he was going to
just shoot up a bunch of leftists.

 GJ> You mean that USA is no longer terrified by the prospect of an
 GJ> invasion by the Cuban navy, armed with salsa music and rum?
 ML> Considering that we already have all its criminals and halfwits.
 GJ> For which Fidel and Raol should be duly grateful.

Fidel and Raoul formulated the plan that brought them here.

 ML> 1. Passport. 2. State-issued ID. 3. Municipally issued ID.
 ML> 4. Work or school ID. 5. Nothing.
 GJ> What un-fakeable evidence do you have to produce to get 2, 3 or 4?

What unfakeable evidence is there period? DNA registry at
birth would be the only, and that presupposes the parents
to be what they claimed to be.

  minutes.  Divide the dough into 18 pieces.  Roll into a ball & place on a
  greased baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart.  Flatten slightly.  If you wish,
  using a sharp knife, cut out a cross in the top of each bun.  Cover with a
  damp cloth & let rise till doubled.
