The video worked quite well, although I regret losing the footage of my being lacerated by barbed wire – which…

    This was my first-ever video, done in 2001 to try and demonstrate the failings of perimeter security be analogising it with evident security issues in common office furniture. It’s a bit rough, but the message is clear:
