Senator Brings a Pipe Bomb to Parliament
AUSTRALIAN SENATE Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee SEN NEWS May 2014: Senator Bill Heffernan complains about the lack of metal detectors in parliament, tabling a pipe bomb he's brought with him as evidence
An Australian senator sits in a parliamentary committee hearing while holding a long firearm-shaped pipe bomb. The joke is the absurdly literal demonstration: he complains that parliament lacks metal detectors and brings a bomb as evidence, making the security failure even more alarming. It is used as a reaction to someone proving a point in an extremely reckless or self-defeating way.
