Mercury 05

Victoria's counter-terrorism team has been working overtime in preparation for the Commonwealth games in Early 2006. The nationwide Mercury 05 training exercise featured various special forces units staging mock raids and rescues throughout Victoria and elsewhere. Victorian authorities have called the operation a success and feel well-prepared to deal with any terror-like nonsense during the games. Nevertheless, one can still wander aimlessly through any airport in Australia and board a plane without a single piece of identification. Hmmmmm. . .
