Could stationery become a new weapon in the war on terror?
Remember when former Met Police senior cop Bob Quick let the whole world know an anti-terror raid was due to take place - after he walked down Downing Street with confidential documents on display?
Those anti-terror raids were brought forward and a whole bunch of people arrested - none of who were subsequently charged with anything.
Lord Carlile was appointed to make suggestions to stop such things happening again.
And his key finding is:
'In future, all persons attending meetings concerned with national security, wherever they occur, should seek to avoid places where it is suspected cameras may be present, in the absence of a clear decision that publicity would in no way harm national security.'
Or, alternatively, senior police officers could be encouraged to use the sort of basic stationery the rest of use when carrying around documents?
A government sledgehammer to crack a nut, anyone?
