Louis Theroux's documentary Law and Disorder in Johannesburg touches on the topic of private security. As someone with no experience of such situations I found this fascinating: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZJ1w9-Umc

A few weeks ago I attended a party in that penthouse as part of Puppet Conf, which was held at the Fairmont. It is an incredible place, but the advertised rate of $15k/night made me quite certain that would be my only visit. Unfortunat

Thanks Jeff. I've learned to always provide the caveat "unless AWS have upgraded this recently" due to the speed at which new features are added/improved. :)
