This kind of thing is always an annoyance to locals.
When Pope John Paul visited my city, they closed the airport and all the roads he would take for several hours. When President Bill Clinton was doing his "trolley stop" campaign, they had secret service on every high building and overpass, and they stopped a lot of traffic.
If you don't like the person, any disruption of your daily routine gonna be infruriating. The article only mentions losing a football field worth of coverage. Unless he's driving by your house, you probably won't even notice anything.
I'm sure your Government there was involved in the security planning. I'm also sure that this is only one small facet of the overall security.
I can understand if you just don't want the guy to visit in any case.:)
The telemarketeers stole my land line. I was getting more calls from them than calls I wanted and had gotten to the point of ignoring my land line most of the time anyway. Soon enough, my friends realized I would almost always answer the cell phone and rarely answered the land line. After a couple of months of that, it just seemed silly to keep paying for the phone that only rang when telemarketers called.
I played Dark Age of Camelot for a couple of years. I got to the top levels with lots of money, items, etc. The most annoying thing for me was the lag. So what do they do every patch but add graphics and create situations where large numbers of people would be in one place which generates....lag. Eventually, I gave up and went to WoW.
I won't wait so long next time. When I get bored or annoyed by the patches, I'll move again. The next game won't be WoW so the game makers shouldn't try to hard to copy Blizzard.
I hope all the WoW wanna-be's make great games so that there will be more choice for consumers. Unfortunately, I expect most of them to suck for the same reason so much sci-fi and fantasy sucks. Gene Roddenberry was passionate about Star Trek and so it was good. Those who followed were passionate about money and so it sucked.
Do as your boss says and either accept it or look for another job. This will happen again. Can you handle working under these conditions? If not, find another job and quit. I guess you could just quit and feel morally superior while you're living in your car but that wouldn't be my choice.
Real terrorists will avoid the system. What you'll get is a lot of false positives from crazy people talking to themselves while imagining they're in video game or movie scenarios.
NPR in Detroit is already in the crapper.
Our new program director last year fired the two best DJs in the city (Martin Bandyke and Judy Adams)and switched to an all talk format during the day.
Bones: They're dying Jim!
Kirk: Let them.

Tomb Raider - Dark Angel radically changed the game play.
It sucked.

Same here.
