Yup... Of course we'll table a report that says our ridiculous "security" precautions are hampering tourism, even though there are plenty of other reports out ther documenting it. If it doesn't come from the government it isn't really true, and since this has been tabled it doesn't really exist, so there aren't any problems. Get it??
