Default Oh dear - commuter services out of Euston today, poor incident planning and the BTP

Upon the miasma of midnight, a darkling spirit identified as Neil
Williams gently breathed:

Surely this is completely the
wrong approach given the high risk of a bomb attack at present


What high risk of a bomb attack?

Seriously, the risk presented by the recent, utterly incompetent
attempts at "terrorism" is about the same as being struck by a falling
meteor at the exact same moment you win your fourth lottery jackpot in a
row.

See The Register for a very thorough debunking of the "threat" from the
recent "car bombs" by a former bomb disposal expert.

People really should learn to analyse risk sensibly, and not go along
with the "security panic" that some would use simply as an excuse to
curtail civil liberties.
