see tandberg cartoon 10th feb - 18th of 20 cartoons, title "The Home Grown Terrorist"

A few years back the Howard Government sent every household in Australia a fridge magnet - telling us to be alert but not alarmed & keep our eyes out for the terrorists under every bed. Many folks were underwhelmed by the magnets & the scare campaign & either sent their magnets back or did not follow the suggestion of placing them on their fridges. I remember a cartoon where the authorities raided someone's place & declared they must be terrorists cos they had displayed their magnet on their fridge. I think it was also by Tandberg.
