Well this obviously came as a shock to the company...... they must have woke up one morning only to realise they were a few thousand security guards short :doh1: :crazy:

I hope our army is going in armed.... although unlikely in this pussy country .... we wouldn't want them to open fire and injure a suicide bomber!! :rolleyes:
