Default Is it only me ....

.... that finds the deployment of *20* Met Police / Community Support
Officers and a drug sniffer dog at Walthamstow Central Tube Station to
"check" passengers something of a waste of resource?

No ticket checks being done just everyone being shoved past the dog's
nose and generally standing around blocking the area behind the ticket
gates.

I've no problem with a small police presence to support a proper revenue
control check but we get these police overload checks far more
frequently than a ticket check. Do criminals now solely travel by tube
train?
