That’s exactly what I was thinking!

So we have to break-in these new citizens slowly and give the airport that banana republic look, complete with AK-47 armed sweaty soldiers in wrap-around sunglasses.

From Azerbaijan, perhaps?

If I understand correctly, can this be applied also to very past acts of criminality? I have specifically in mind the murdering of Raymond Caruana and similarly the murdering of Karen Grech.
