I have nothing against the Society of Antiquaries in either London or Scotland....and their respective records over the years may indeed suggest they possess gravitas in abundance. Perhaps a very sound footing for a potential police force....
However my understanding is that both organisations still retain a 'black ball' approach to membership applications where a single objection from an existing member would scupper the chances of an aspirant being able to join in the 'frolicks amongst the gravitas'. I suspect that might lead to just as many doubts and complaints, as those expressed by folk who object to IfA's qualified but open procedures.

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
