Now this is a retaliatory security check!

Ok so it relates to a cruise liner but it is still applicable.

About 1600 Australian cruise ship passengers were forced to wait in a Russian port for five hours today, as local authorities took hours to make a series of passport inspections.

However, the port of Petropavlovsk has played a role in the stoush between Russia and NATO over the decision of the former to send troops in Georgia.

Australia has close ties with NATO and has spoken against the invasion of Georgia.
Maybe I shouldn't post it if it gives other like minded petty twits ideas?
