Birdie Brooch

Handmade brooch by Briar Cook from within the Cordon after the Christchurch Earthquake.
Passports or photo ID were necessary if she wanted to come and go from her house.

An example of what the Army are doing these days:

"I asked the LAV officer "So what's this about you guys using the LAV infrared in town at night again?" He looked uncomfortably sideways at his collegues. I said "Oh, that's OK, you don't have to answer, I'll just ask a cold bored cop at 4am....."
