SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — Members of an Australian TV comedy show, one dressed as Osama bin Laden, drove through two security checkpoints Thursday before being stopped near the Sydney hotel where U.S. President George W. Bush is staying.
 quote:
Cast members put together a sham motorcade, hiring two motorcycles and three large cars on which they put Canadian flags. Police waved the motorcade through two checkpoints before pulling it over near the Intercontinental Hotel where Mr. Bush is staying.
"Osama" is quoted on choosing Canada for the stunt:
quote:
“We just thought they'd be a country who the cops wouldn't scrutinize too closely, and who feasibly would only have three cars in their motorcade
Only 3 cars!  OMG! The insecurities inadvertently inflicted on humble Canadians. World humiliation as a 3 car motorcade country. On the bright side,we won't be anywhere near as humiliated as the Aussie cops who let "osama" through. web page
