Instead of boycotting this competition, maybe it would be more productive to use it to do some broad thinking? Can anything be done to mitigate against person-borne IEDs? Yes, address the reasons for people wanting to blow themselves up in public in the first place. Eliminate borders? Reduce inequality? Improve mutual understanding? Just three thoughts that come to me as I'm typing this. I'm sure I could work them up into some sort of competition board in a day or so. We should not allow ourselves to be channeled by the seemingly narrow wording o the brief and use this competition instead as an opportunity to demonstrate how terrorism is a symptom of a culture of fear, not its cause.
