THE security guard at an innocuous suburban shopfront was a day late.

This was where 34 handguns were stolen in an armed robbery on Sunday night.

Police revealed yesterday that one unarmed guard was working alone when two men wearing balaclavas and wielding a handgun held up the premises in Miller Rd, Chester Hill.

Two men of Pakistani-Indian-Arabic appearance presented themselves as computer technicians and were given unfettered access to the airport's top security mainframe room on August 27, a Sydney newspaper reported.

"Inside, they spent two hours disconnecting two computers, which they put on trolleys and wheeled out of the room, past the security desk, into the lift and out of the building," the paper said.

"If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys".

And I assume they aren't getting paid very much because every security guard that comes into my office usually has the IQ of a retarded cockatoo. They're the male version of the ever-ubiquitous hairdresser.

Sometimes the word "security" in the title "security guard" refers to job security and nothing more.

I would comment on security guards doing their jobs, but I'm busy posting to this forum right now.
