Bozo Erectus said:Mise, Joe and Supper, oh I see. In the US, or around here at least, bus drivers walk up and down the bus and give it the once over before letting everyone get on. Would a bus driver notice if somebody at a stop got on the bus with baggage, and then got off without it? Im sure in light of the G8, authorities must have told the bus companies to tell their drivers to be extra alert.
Here in London we have weekly if not daily regular transport delays as 'suspect packages' are reported, however this highlights that vigilence can only go so far.
If I see unattended luggage I always ask around if it belongs to anyone. It's often a source of amusement as you notice others start to get edgy before the silence is broken.
The worst was when I was on the tube to Heathrow and a beeping started eminating from someones luggage. Scared the crap out of me, but it was just some tourists alarm clock...!
