To those that live/work in and around London. How would you feel about increased security measures going into underground stations.?
Some of you will be familiar with walking in or out of a station to be met by a hoard of police with a sniffer dog that they make you walk past while it sniffs your crotch for traces of drugs. They also make sure anyone that turns around on sight of the police are checked out.
It seems like it would be a good measure. You wouldn't need them at every station all the time. Just have them springing up randomnly like they do for drugs at the moment.

If someone wants to blow up a train, nine times out of ten they will suceed regardless of security measures, although I'm sure they may catch some of these people with random searches etc. For example I carry weed on the Underground all the time and have never been searched.

I always thought it was drugs as I was stopped and searched after a dog took a shine to me a couple of years ago at Seven Sisters! I guess they could be looking for bombs as well but they have only ever made the dog sniff me and nothing I was carrying
True 9 times out of 10 they will get through but it may make it harder for them

I'm pretty sure they are bomb dogs. I can't see them using resources like that just to catch a few random people with an eigth in their pocket.
Could be wrong though....

i don't think the dogs multitask...remember that episode of ali g?...so you should be safe as long as that is weed in your pocket and not explosives

I love how this thread has become about whether it's safe to carry weed about London :)

There were alot of extra police at the train station today (in US not UK). They were all standing in a circle talking to each other.
You could have walked past those guys in one of those black and white striped prisoner outfits dragging a shackle and nobody would have noticed.

I just hope this latest incident shows the world that we all need data tracker implants and curfues.
