Bag-checks on the L.U?
I don't mean to depress anyone, but how would this work when the bag's owner
can set off his or her bomb at will? The first bomb-carrier to be stopped will pull their pin immediately, killing both the security/police wallahs and possibly many more. After that those duties won't see either volunteers or conscientious up-close bag-checking. Or are we suddenly going to discover a new race of nerveless heroes who don't mind being blown up? It doesn't have to be in a bag. It could be on their person, or in a flask or soft toy. The important thing is that if discovered they set the damn thing off, which is what we _don't_ want. There's no precaution that will serve. If we stopped them making their grand explosive gestures they could even start planting poison in supermarkets; that could kill hundreds more. If this is a cultural war, they might switch to cultural targets; we could lose the British Museum or Westminster Abbey to a feat of arson, or bombs could go off at Glyndebourne. The LSO could be strafed with gunfire in the middle of a concert. There's no solution to the dedicated suicide agent. We're in real trouble this time. jP. |
