Commuters face airport-style scans
Rail and London Underground passengers could soon face airport-style
scanning techniques under new anti-terror plans, the transport secretary
revealed today.
Alistair Darling pledged to reduce the risk of another terrorist attack
on
London but admitted that security systems on rail networks would never
be
as stringent as those in airports.
...
The new cameras are programmed to look for suspicious behaviour
patterns,
such as one person standing in the same place for a significant length
of
time,
waiting for a train perhaps.

So, all you wannabe suicide bombers, just wander around the station,
go for a cuppa and so on and you'll be fine...
Just read today that it's also going to recognise left behind baggage.
So every cast aside newpaper is going to set off a security alert.
