The big railway seems to have taken to using clear plastic bin bags
hanging from a loop, which may not exactly be bomb-proof but will
avoid any additional shrapnel, and hopefully any device would be
visible.

They have these at 'overground' 'Tube' stations.

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)

These appeared for a while on the streets in Manchester as well -
unfortunately Network Rail/FNW have not cottoned on to this at the
stations :-(

Yeah but I've seen small children on the tube with snot oozing out all
over
with him wiping it on the seat. Tell you what lets ban small children?
(It
would also cut down on overcrowding!)


Excellent idea......

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...:-)

Perhaps you should give the Transport Security Agency the benefit of your
wisdom, rather than blame the Train Operating Companies / Network Rail /
London Underground.

Nah, that'd be far too messy.

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.

Funnily enough I reckon the US TSA needs as much help as possible with
security. 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?
