Londoners have been used to TERRORIST warnings for years. Years and years. Does the name IRA mean anything to you?
Exactly. So why are these measures only coming in now? Why are they suddenly giving in to it and trying to change people's lifestyle?
You slay me, quite frankly. All this sturm und drang over a clear knapsack or two, yet what use could it all be when the Prime Minister of Great Britain and his dancing partner G. W. Bush are going to destroy the world, anyway?
Well, I can't help it if you can't understand simple concepts. Nowhere have I mentioned "destroying the world".
So I'm guessing you're fine with the rationale behind introducing clear bags? Now imagine you're on the tube, and there are two people sitting opposite you. In the first scenario, both of them have normal rucksacks between their legs. In the second scenario, one has a clear bag sitting on their lap, where everyone can see that they're not a terrorist hiding a bomb, and the other has a normal rucksack between their legs. In which scenario are you more likely to wonder what might be hidden inside the normal rucksack(s)?
I'm just astonished at the lack of consideration that's gone into this.
