It looks good and seems like a good idea for a while, but it's a disaster waiting to happen. Like putting a shark in the local swimming pool.

Just don't make the mistake of adding food colouring to it like I did...
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Let's be fair, that region needs it more than the relatively mild Zeeland of New.

They're also more able to afford it, presumably. : P TIL the GDP per capita of New Zealand is double that of Saudi Arabia.
