NEWS: MI5 : A Q for all Seasons.

In news today, it has been widely reported that MI5 are searching for a chief scientific advisor. Code named Q in the 007 films, this is every scientists dream job although its rumoured that they won't be kitting cars out that contain enough weaponry to start a small war or even watch lazers.

Quoted by the BBC, John Beddington said "I think it's unlikely the candidate will be required to create a new weapons system for the latest Aston Martin."

Nevertheless there is a really important role in providing scientific and technological advice that agents working in the field will address." He also said.

Prospective Q's or mini Q's can apply directly to MI5 with the close date for applications being 24th April.

Look at the weasel words :) No new weapons system for an Aston Martin. Obviously MI5 don't use Astons these days.
