Not surprised by this action one bit. In this country, nothing goes straight! Just imagine how the international community would view us. If 'security' were the issue couldn't it had been taken cared before 14th February 2015? They've been security issues that should have been solved before the world waltzed into 2015? Please, they should go away with their crazy excuses! Do they know how frustrating this is? Do they know how many organizations, events and schools have changed their schedules in preparation for the election?
