    This is a game of whack a mole...
    In any case, they could blow themselves up in the queue for the scanners, and still kill dozens.

    Perhaps the answer is no suitcases or hand baggage in the concourse at all, although it would be damned inconvenient for everyone.

      If someone I knew from the Muslim community was planning an act of violence I would report them to the police - 94% agree

      I know Muslims who feel strongly sympathetic towards people fighting for IS and al-Qaeda - 8% agree

      Muslim clerics who preach that violence against the West can be justified are out of touch with mainstream opinion - 49% agree [emoji102]

      I would like my children to go a Muslim state school if I had the choice - 31% agree

      I would rather socialise with Muslims than non-Muslims - 13% agree

      If I could I would leave Britain and go and live in another country - 14% agree
      If this is true, the first 6% need to be slung in prison (or shot). And the last 14% should be given a "helping hand" to leave.

          This is war folks. Put down your latte and wake up.
          In WW2 people used to go about their normal lives - as much as possible - amidst the ruins and debris of the previous nights air-raids, killing thousands and thousands of civilians each day. Similar principle during the height of the Troubles - people were wary and vigilant but refused to give up.

          You're calling for government lock-down because of a handful of attacks?

            Ahh but we shot down bombers before they delivered their payloads, we also bombed their civilians as aiding the enemy's war effort


            Are you advocating we do the same in this war?

              Nice try, but ultimately a fail, since the word preceding the bit you quoted was "even" I'm obviously not saying the integration is good in the UK - just better than in France and Belgium, leading to more information going to the authorities.

              Supporting the motives behind the Hebdo shootings is not the same as supporting the Hedbo shootings.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                No (for a start we're not IN a war) I was just pointing out DP is a leftie wuss who wants the government to take away our civil liberties.

                    Sweden seems to heading down the same ghettoisation route as Belgium:
