Hypothetical is right. One would guess that the alert level was at 
least medium when the Lodge had its bikie 'invasion' recently. And if 
someone can be beaten to death in a airport with on-sight security 
only alerted by a 000 call, how fearful should we *really* be?

Fools paradise. Where did all that security money go?
