Although I did find myself sympathizing with what
Andy was saying (and I actually laughed aloud), I
can see how some people might find the manner
offensive.  The particularly graphic description
"those creepy IP people" may not have been
entirely necessary.  Certainly, the sick-bags were
an exaggeration! In any case, since it comes down
to a question of adjectives, I suggest we be a
little more careful how we choose to characterize
and paint.  I say this, even though I also believe
that nobody should be taking anything that is said
in these forums personally.  

[Also, I must admit, I think it would be
interesting if somebody did do a survey, or
collect stats at Melbourne Airport.]

Sincerely,
