Instead of "mind the gap" it should be "mind the plans"

Oh come on, leaving state secrets on trains is a proud British tradition. How else are we supposed to know what the government is up to? Or what the government wants us to think its up to...

I thought unattended bags were automatically detonated by the local bomb squad. Blown into teeny, tiny shreds sounds pretty secure to me.

Paul Revere warned the British about leaving plans on trains. Now the Americans will be able to bomb Pearl Harbor and win the French Revolution.

It is. It's quite astonishing to think of the sheer volume of confidential government data that has been left behind on trains over the past five years.

Hmmm...as bad as the train is, I'm still going to go with "local mosque"

Because all Muslins are terrorists and they all know each other. Am I right?

/how do you feel about Italians? All mobsters? or at least all know a mobster?

Of course not. But statistically--the odds are better that the secrets would find their way into the wrong hands in a mosque that on a train--Especially in a city like London. And you're deluding yourself by denying that--if there is a threat to the games--it is almost certainly coming from Muslims.

How helpful that rather than turn them in to police they turn them into journalists (probably for some cash). Then again had they turned them in I could see them being accused of stealing them to begin with and having 40 security cameras pointed at their home.

You'd have to see hard stats before you'd be ready to conclude that the amount of Jihadi sympathizers would be higher in a London mosque than amongst the general population?

Ok, fine ..

Well at least you had a link. I guess my only response is that I'm sure 6% of people I see on my commute are crazy. That and 526 is a pretty low sample

Happened to a guy in my class when I was 11. Dozy kid got off the train from school, forgetting his sports bag. The train rolled into London and the police blew the bag up, just in case.

They don't take chances in London. No trash cans in the train stations either.

Or mind the gap that's between their ears for leaving it there.

Set it on fire, nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

They'd be safe if they turned them into a Murdoch-owned company. They've bought enough of the government that they can openly lie in front of Parliament - and the MoD would just be a speed bump.
