If he has them split up, then he would need a couple of the kp locks, otherwise nothing stopping anyone hooking up to them I guess.
Here  in the West,  3" and 3.5" diameter king pins are common and you need a turntable with the correct size jaws to hook up, where as most on the eastern seaboard are 2"diameter.  That would deter most with a 2" turntable hooking them up

When found, they need to be hung until their flesh rots off their bones.

What a sick world we live in at times.

This just shows you Terror tactics  can come in many ways  shapes and forms for any reason by one or many .
Casts a fair bit of doubt on  the safety of all foods being supplied in a way doesn't it .

Talking with some the other day and got bagged out about saying this being a form of Terrorism, Wellll . http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL1809/S00102/needled-strawberries-food-terrorism-down-under.htm  Now watch all the copy cat Wannabes go crazy ...
Might pay to be a bit more  alert to the condition of what you intend to eat . .. Apples and bananas now under threat too, everyone screaming for metal detectors to scan the fruits etc .. That will only work briefly ..
 Who ever is behind this will just switch to plastics /  glass or some other form till they get to the stage of its undetectable [ injection ] till multiple people present at  ED  or its picked up in multiple  autopsy's ..

Talking about concerns at this sort of thing, (needles in the fruit) - being used for terrorism  ...

I can remember listening to a programme on ABC radio way back about 30 years ago - when they were saying/warning how the Australian bush could be used for terrorism..

Basically the show discussed concerns about how terrorist cells could totally overwhelm the government and SES; CFA; etc - by erupting say 100-200 large scale bushfires at pretty much the same time; in the middle of a bone dry Aussie summer....   creating fear; pandemonium; economic carnage: and govt struggles etc along the way...

(The 100-200 number is from me - eg: I  don't recall the numbers)..   but I reckon there's something in that concern...

How would/could Australia defend itself against that...   Not WMDs, ..just need a box of matches!!

Having cut my teeth 4wding in the hills behind Melbourne back in the 80s and 90s, a few of those power line towers brought down could render Melb useless for weeks (months if enough were taken down). I still assume most power is still above ground...............

It would be nice, but they will have had the voices telling them to do it, were on drugs, found god etc etc.. and get a community corrections order.

Yes, that's presuming it was some random malicious act. But it really goes to show how vulnerable we can be in certain areas.

And don't all start jumping on me for giving anyone ideas, or I'll send a swarm of Slaughterbots after you. And, in any case, you'd be a tad slow, if you think it hasn't already been under consideration.
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan. I miss being able to acces the little tracks off into the scrub.

Too much of this hysteria is caused by the media. If the press just told the truth and mentioned the little idea of just cutting your strawberries before eating them, the industry would have suffered, but far less than what is happening.
As for our idiot leaders increasing the maximum sentence for food tampering to 15 years, why not introduce a minimum sentence. How often are maximum sentences handed out by our soft centred magistrates?
