On Saturday I posted that I would have some questions about the London bombings for folks on Sunday. Unfortunately, I spent all Saturday night writing things up for the e-Postal Matches and e-mailing other bloggers, hoping to get links to the contest and never got around to it.
Being ‘the e-Postal Match guy’ I had to get to the range. I met Mr. Completely and Kiwi for breakfast, a discussion of the matches and then some shooting, got home and passed out for a bit after being up for 26 hours.
Mr. Completely writes about our day here, if you’d like to read about it. When you get to the bottom of the post where he starts talking about cameras and ‘bad help’; he may have forgotten his, but I remembered mine, I was just too tired to remember to snap any pics.
So anyway, some of the questions I wanted to ask were these:
Do you think the vast array of surveillance cameras in London helped even a tiny bit?
I know we don’t know what is on the footage they have and it may actually show someone setting the explosive packages, but since they didn’t actually forewarn the police agencies until afterwards, with what we currently know, are they worth a rat pissing on a flat rock?
Will our government’s Politically Correct culture actually help the potential terrorists?
I really didn’t need an answer to this one, but I found it yesterday anyway at LGF,
Immigration checks on Tube passengers banned
15 February 2005
Random immigration checks on Tube passengers have been banned by Underground chiefs after they were exposed by the Evening Standard.
The media helped kill at least 50 some odd people last week because they wanted to be ‘sensitive’ to immigrants, ignoring the fact that some of those immigrants want to kill them.
