Good to see the authorities may finally be catching on to the threat that walks among us.
Not nice for the tourist but needs must.

Vigilance is needed.


How do you know he wasn't filming for other reasons?

Tad unfair tot eh security forces Nems, when they have thwarted countless terrorist planned attacks here.

In 2013 alone it was 34 since 7/7.

That is hardly fair to say the authorities are catching on when they have saved countless lives and continue to do so.
