Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Seriously though looking at the video of the M6 "incident" this must have set the taxpayer back a goodly seven figure sum of money apart from causing widespread disruption. It's ridiculous over-reaction to nothing. the most obvious point of all is that IF the smoker had in fact been a bomber then he'd have had a couple of hours to set off his bleedin' bomb. What was the theory - that he would try to sit it out, and hope than when they searched his smoking bag, they missed his bomb?FFS. Embarrassing and ludicrous.'"
It'll be written off as a decent training exercise.
