I drive past the missiles on blackheath common this weekend. Bizarre how we have come to the conclusion that it's ok to have missiles on public land to defend us against a "possible" threat. Police state or what?

I find it silly that they think shooting a plane down over the middle of London would be a good idea?

Yeah, would the debris from the falling plane not have a huge chance of hitting something else in central london? Not that there are many important buildings in central london is there?

End of the day, if and it is still a big IF there is a terrorist attack, it will be more than likely what happened last time, suicide bombers on the tube.

Not much or anything you can do to stop that to be honest.

I hope nothing happens as I am really looking forward to the Olympics

On a lighter note . . . . Just watching Athletes from all around the world turning up for the Olympics. The Irish fencing team have turned up in a transit pick up with wooden posts and concrete mix.

Don't start tha up again. I did laugh that the coach drivers of some athletes got lost for four hours trying to find the Olympic site. Must have used sat nav.

I don't quite understand what the SAM's are for... However in other news did people see that terrorist in the USA that was making long range RC-planes with jets able to do 600mph? Basically an UAV, except he strapped C4 to it and planned to fly it into a building.

Also anyone on here go on TED? There's a recent video about future crimes on there, good food for thought as he goes on about how laws on firearms are very strict in the UK, but with the uprise in 3d printers you could just print a gun off. Some of the idea's of what the future may hold is a bit scary.
