You only need to look at the impact of security alerts on the service
just because people have left bags, boxes and other items lying around.
The fact people leave them behind warrants a reminder!

If *and only if* those announcements are actually effective. The whole
point of the whinge is that because people hear them every five minutes
every day, they tune them out, and they have no effect. If this is true,
the announcements are a Bad Thing; if not, they're a Good Thing. Until
someone points us to a study which actually determines this, we're all
****ing in the wind.

I'm sure I will now get lambasted for "defending" what everyone seems to
hate.

Yep!
