Congratulations. They're going to play assassin in London, the home of (allegedly) overzealous armed police.

Great idea, folks.

[ashekenaz]

Yeah. Under the current climate, this strikes me as an extraordinarily bad idea. I've already seen people arrested doing this. It's going to be oh so much more interesting if the police have a shoot first policy...

[chrisvenus]

A shoot first policy on people squirting waterguns at each other? I mean, sure, if you're using an exact replica watergun then you've got what's coming to you but a bright yellow and orange supersoaker? I severely doubt the policy will shoot first if they see you brandishing that in the street...

I wouldn't be so sure - a friend of mine was actually detained at US Customs because she had two bright neon umbrella waterpistol things (like these - she was an au pair and taking them out to the kids) in her luggage. Their justification was that they could be filled with acid or a nerve toxin...

Oooh, cunning.
