I’ve worried about this for years, having been a long-term commuter on the Washington DC Metro. Virtually no security, no defense against backpack bombs, etc.
They are treading a tightrope here. They hate the West worse and worse, but the cumulative list of things they can get away with without a pushback seems to be slowly shrinking. The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon and that sort of thing.
Yeah, this could be a mell of a hess. So to speak.
Well if they do, that will only hasten the tipping point of opposition against government officials who keep on pussyfooting around with this kind of problem.
A backpack bomber was foiled at the annual footrace in Spokane by a young woman who saw an unattended backpack on a park bench before the race and called police. It was indeed a bomb. How many other people saw it there and thought nothing about it?
Leaving a backpack on a bench where hundreds of people are lining up, giving their jackets, etc to family or friends, or maybe just leaving them on the ground...almost too easy.
