Why do these idiots say they have drugs and bombs when they don’t? They are wasting police time when they could be sorting out a real bomb case!

It’s not so much the police whose time is being waste, but also the passenger. We’re at the busiest time of the year for travel and many passengers would have been jetting off to the sun for a week or two. Having spent hundreds of pounds for their break, the last thing any of them want is a delay because of some fool leaving their bag unattended.

With the world on such a high terror alert; especially these ‘western’ countries, people should know better than to abandon their belongings for any period of time in such a place. Even at my local train station, with just two platforms, there are automatic announcements every 4 or 5 minues, advising passengers not to leave their bags alone.
