Does anyone think this is mad? Because even if we re searched at cinemas, shops, sports stadia etc.. terrorists can always think of some other target. Find prospect of fortress like architecture totally depressing.

ah tis all bravado non?

do you htink if youa re wearing a bhs string they frog march you out?

im alwasy supried they havnt blown up salisbury catedral.
obv i hope they dont but owuld be piece of piss

i wonder what else they may find in bags htough
knives
illegal drugs etc

they would find a knife in my handbag - I always carry one

aparing knife fro fruit in season?

I have six pairs of scissors in mine, accidentally half-inched from the Soane Centre (and to be returned on Saturday).

It's not a big deal, in my book - it was absolutely standard in Northern Ireland for years.

I have a penknife and a nasty little pair of embroidery scissors
Plus I could garotte someone very capably with my Denise interchangeable knitting needles

this knife

it is very useful

and yes, I was a girl guide

i have no lethal weapons in mine.

they cna seach mine all they like.

what if suicide bomber is a pg owman wiht bomb in bump

or a magician wiht a top hat on?

Presumably they're remembering the IRA Christmas bombings in London and are aware of how much mroe damage a repeat could do now?

Extra security during the sales / Christmas period is a good thing but....

the problem is iots an invisible enemy isn't it?

there's a thousand and one letters on teletext (AKA DM on the telly) about sending Muslims back home (), but the reality is that terrorism is home grown and nobody knows HOW to stop it I suppose.

My local MP was Sec of State fotr Ireland when I was a kid and I grew up in a small provincial town that at times (ie when he was in town) was crawling with police and security though, so maybe I am a bit used to it? Dunno

cod why on earth would anyone blow up salisbury cathedral? esp. now that Edward Heath no longer lives there (or indeed, anywhere)

oh so THAT'S why i'm getting the denises,marina

They don't show up on x-ray machines you know bundy

for impact?
ofr publicity?
