I was on my way to a meeting last friday when over the PA system the driver advised that there was a suspect package on the train, he then advised everyone to vacate the station in an ordery fashion.
Now aside from this making me late for my meeting (which i can deal with, and everybody understood why i was late)while i was exiting the station with hundreds of other people all i heard time and time again was, "some idiot has left their bag on the train again!" i realise that this is the much less of two evils but, i am quite concerned that should one day one of these bags actually contain an explosive device people will not take it seriously (which it already seems to be going that way) even though it was not that long ago that we where actually bombed.
I know that we are all really busy but it only takes 2 seconds to do a quick check before you get off the train.
cheers.
