He who prefers security over liberty deserves neither

Having docked my Cobra Mk III at Lave at 12.00 yesterday I was forced to return to the real world and started my duty solicitor shift. I docked with my OIC in his VIPER at Westminster Magistrates. At the witchspace beacon were a sqaud of Ministery of Justice drones, charged with maintaining the Security of the Court for the very reasonable fee of only 500% more than a duty solictor.
My OIC (with a Glock 9mm under his arm) was duly waved through as he showed his ID card. (It is of course completly impossoible for a terrorist to forge a police ID card and SERCO drones know what a real police ID Card looks like) .
My mere Duty Barrister's ID Card did not however produce the same effect. The M o J drones therefore sprang into action and asked me to removed my coat (it being quite impossible for anybody to either: Claim to be a police officer when they are not or have a weapon under their suit coat but not under their overcoat.
Now I know we live in hard times and we must pay SERCO £1,000 an hour to provide Security for the Courts, but the thought occours that if you wish to bring any item into the Courts that you should'nt, then the best advice is to put your bomb / MAC9 / Ingram Laser Rifle in your waste-band as if you remove your coat anything you have under it must be perfectly ok.
Over the next two weeks I'll post photos of items I have brought into court by (although only being a mere lawyer) had the wit not to put in my coat. My self imposed challenge is to put a replica firearm / bomb in my waste-band, but take off my coat, (as long as I take off my coat the 50 Million Credits we all pay SERCO to provide security per year is money well spent) and be waved through by SERCO at Southwarlk Crown Court next week.
Anyone other Commander want to play the "What can we put in our waste-bands and not put in our coats and be waved through by private security companies paid by the Tax Payer to provide security?" If so Photos Here!
