Can't bins be made bomb proof? I thought that Westminster went through all this and in the end put them back. Obviously I meant Westminster Council. As I walk down the Strand there seem to be bins about evey 10 yards (and very clean streets) |

Tell you what lets ban small children? (It would also cut down on overcrowding!) Excellent idea...... Can't bins be made bomb proof? I thought that Westminster went through all this and in the end put them back. I certainly don't blame people for not taking their rubbish home with them. Blast resistant bins are available, but they will only resist a set pressure level. Of course you could chain all those surplus to requirement small children to the blast proof bins to absorb any overpressure...:-) -- Cheers, Steve. |

Who are the Transport Security Agency? Do you mean the US Transportation Security Administration www.tsa.gov? If so, I think their interest in litter bins (or indeed trash cans) on the Underground would be limited. Matt Ashby |

When I was in New York every station had litter bins/black rubbish sacks all of which seemed a natural target for bombers. Worse still was Wall Street where the copious number of police officers were using gas lighting to see the crowds with! |

OK Mr Smarty Pants - perhaps you'd like to explain why it's possible on some mainline stations but not others? Who *should* I complain about other than the companies who actually run these stations - Network Rail and First North Western? WTH is the Transport Security Agency, anyway? -- ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Please reply to the group Replies to this address will bounce! ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø |
