I was at the Building Dept to get structural drawings for [address]. Unfortunately, I couldn't get them.[Address] is a condo, completed about two years ago. The only people who'd want to blow it up are the minority with good taste.
Several hundred building in NYC were designated Security Risks after 9/11. [Address] is designated a potential security hazard, so I have to apply for clearance. The process includes getting a written letter from the owner giving permission to accces the drawings. The security clearance would take about a week.

Security Theater Kabuki is a way of life.
I prefer Security Theater Medea, with a chorus of architects and code officials dying messily.
whoah, that was pretty hostile.
Towards architects, I mean. Re: Code officials, carry on with the slaughter.
What's the problem with a chorus of architects. Like any greek play, they'd stand off to one side of the action and by pithy.
Oh, I see. Comprehension fale zombie. I read that as both the architects AND the code officials dying messily.
The problem with a chorus of architects is that they would all need to be dressed alike. Wait, what am I saying? They all will have black turtlenecks already.
Also, I suspect your comment about 'pithyness' is poorly concealed snark, but I'm going to let it go.
My only excuse is that I was working on a proposal all night and morning, and now have to plow into overdue plan revisions.
Security Theater Gilbert & Sullivan would make the whole thing a bit peppier though.
Admit it. Wouldn't seeing the TSA staff at an airport break into a song and dance number be a much better system?
eitehr that, or it would look like a Cop Rock outtake.
"Pithed" as in 'decerebrate', I suppose.
Cerebrate good times, come on!
Ah, the 70s...
Dancing Thugs would be a pretty good name for an industrial rock band.
Stop that pithing about
Look out for guys called Achmed with good taste.
what about guys named Ned with folding rulers?
Zombies with collapsible batons?
TSA operators with expandable batons?
zombies in tuxes with those top hats that pop out, like Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein.
Maybe I will wear a tux next time I go in for a Plan Exam.
