There was an article in the press yesterday detailing how used ambulances, police cars etc can be bought for trivial sums and could also be stuffed with explosives and driven past security.
There have been articles in the past about how a bomb could be put in a boat, driven up the Thames and detonated outside parliament without coming to the notice of the single river police boat on duty.
i.e. for anyone not actually carrying a largeblack cannonball shaped object labelled "bomb" with a fizzing fuse into central London (come to think of it, would anyone take the cannonball seriously?), there are an infinite number of alternative bomb delivery systems. Can we seal off the world against them all?
No.
Be careful, fine, but ultimately fear of all the innumerable things which could happen will strangle everyday life if allowed (or promoted by the media). So f*** the doom and gloom merchants. Let's get on with life.
Look at what's already been done to children's activities by the fear industry -I'm bloody glad that I was a kid when I was allowed out by myself all day, climbed trees, drove tractors, used power tools and got up to no good, mostly at risk to myself!
And survived!
