Comments from the DC Ubuntu LOCO follow:
Here's the comment on the site right now:
"I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the
functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the
passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail
file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway
nor the security wand picked it up. My son said "that's the worst security
ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on
the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of
other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle,
which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the
realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants
the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I've
heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms
of quality and motion detection, so I think I'll get him the Playmobil
Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from
George Bush)."
Kindest Regards,
