What a good story (and I am sure that its true). What are we to do about this dreadful disease...government funded ineptitude (cowardice? irrelevance?) and sheer stupidity. I see so much of it, and an increasing amount of it, as I move between the UK, New Zealand and Australia. We in aviation (and sailing in my case) are particularily vulnerable. At 66, I tend to think that it wont affect me for much longer, but then perhaps we should encourage civil disobedience if only to publicise the cause. When returning from my circumnavigation I was often asked whether I saw any pirates. My reply was on the lines of.."Yes, and they all wore government uniforms". That was in 1991. Its worse now. Strangely, the cleverness of modern technology often seems to make the stupidities more effective, as in the case in point.
