Message | The Ducal Delegation urges to support our own bill in preference to this one, which is well-meaning but goes a little too far: http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=56987 Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |

Message | Oops! Sorry, I just realised that our own bill is EXACTLY the same as this one! This Bill is unnecessary. |

Message | On the whole we think that "intensive" security checks risk being oppressive. We'd need to know more about what's involved and what safeguards there are against unnecessary invasions of privacy. |
