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

Perhaps you can provide details of the Transport Security Agency as I
have never heard of them.

Google is your friend


Done that - nothing relevant came up. So prove your statement.


What would you like? Offical documentation from them stating bins, clear
pastic or otherwise, are not to be installed at certain locations perhaps?

What is the Transport Security Agency?

As others have said, the websites prefer them to be known as transec.

do you kick someone off for eating a polo mint? What about a

bins. Theres no reason not to have then since as we've seen
terrorist hardly need them to cause chaos these days.

Also had the misfortune to watch a small child eating a burger on
the train. The mayonnaise was oozing out of the burger and the child
was wiping it on the seats next to him whilst his mother was smiling
adoringly. Great news if you happen to sit next to him not.

There are a lot of things that people do on the tube which infer with
the smooth running of the tube and can cause discomfort to passengers.
People who put their bags on the seats leaving people to stand?
However, considering London Underground does not have the resources to
stop people skipping paying tube fares I would love to know how London
Underground would stop people from taking hot food on to the tube. A lot
of gate staff don't flinch when people jump the barriers or push through
the gates so I doubt they will chase after someone smuggling a
cheeseburger onto the tube.

SOLUTION = ARM TUBE STAFF.

That's the best idea I've seen from this group for ages! ;-)

I suspect Robin has come across them because some inspectors actually
turned up at one of the stations he works at to take a look at how
secure the place was.

Just because someone may have slightly misquoted the name does not mean
that such departments do not exist.

My point was Paul that the department/agency named by Robin didn't
exist.

I've been advocating it at work for at least three years now, for some
reason, when ever the TOM & I attempt to order 310 H&K MP5s plus ammo
through SAP it just won't have it. Current thinking is to have a team event
in the wilds of Afghanistan and make sure everyone takes big, half empty
suitcases...

But surely there is more to life than being quite so pedantic over a
name? The department that governs security on the Underground quite
clearly does exist - he just got the name wrong. Is that such a problem?

It is to Robin who refused to answer my original points.

On usenet it's never safe to assume that sort of thing!
