when asked recently on a forum i visit on a regular basis about policemen on roundabouts having sticks and whistles like they do in cairo si responded ""sadly no, the traffic police seem to just stand and watch traffic accidents here.

however the tv stations police guards do tote an amazing amount of weaponry - i do feel safer if only because of the recent uncovering of bush & blairs bombing plans during Gulf WarII""

today i have seen an mp5k

sig 551

Franchi SPAS-12

and the hand gun of choice the walther p990
