It's probably indicative of mild autism that I blather on regardless and happen to offend those I'm supposed to be in conversation with... or I'm just a dick. :p You make a good point, but then I also remember all bins within a hundred (or so) yards of all train station and bus shelters being removed back in the days when the IRA were a constant headline. As it happens, not so long ago, all the bins were removed from DLR stations, and have not yet been replaced. Bins elsewhere near public transport points are still scarce apart from the odd transparent liner - presumably, clear sacks reassuringly betray their contents to a casual observation. "Is that an explosive device in that there bin, ticking?" "No, it's a clockwork banana, sorry..." I am happy to address the points in your last post... 1) Forcing an action does not necessarily denote control. In the case of gratuitous destruction of life and property, it simply introduces anarchy. All measures in response are simply an effort to re-introduce order. If their goal was to force an increase in national security measures and garner a hatred of their cause while inciting further aggression toward their race/culture/religion, then they have achieved that goal admirably! Well done, the world is a more menacing place for Muslims today because of them. 2) I'm not sure that any of the civil measures are really effective in directly tackling terrorism (presumably, this is the investigative responsibility of the police rather than solely the preventative duty of a ticket inspector) but it has long been my view that many measures are effective only in [i]enhancing the illusion of order[/i] that so many find comforting in the execution of their daily lives. In this respect, they are generally effective - that is, until you come along and question it all. ;) I am on your side in this - tell them all the Emperor has no clothes! I'm good for a laugh. 3) I can't say that "nothing is actually being sorted" without a much greater understanding of the work being done behind the scenes. I agree, again, that the fear for some is tangible. I just don't feel it myself - I'm more likely to get a knife in the face in exchange for my mobile phone than be blown to pieces by a terrorist device. I don't fear terrorism any more than I do the general lawlessness of the scum that haunt the streets of my city - and they've never really impressed me as much as they disgust me.
