Clear bags 'to ease Tube fears'

A range of see-through rucksacks and cases have been launched for Tube users in an attempt to reduce fear in the wake of the London bomb attacks.
The Freedom Bags, which are made out of clear vinyl, are being sold on the internet by the Assist Safety Project, a private, non-profit organisation.

The company hopes that seeing the bag's contents will assure commuters that it does not contain explosives.

It plans to donate any profits made to the London Bombings Relief Fund.

Bob Fitzjohn, director of the Assist Safety Project, said the company wants to give the public back the confidence needed to travel on the London Underground again.

"If we all carry a bag that poses no threat whilst travelling on public transport, visiting a football or rugby match or just in a department store, we are giving the message that we are prepared to let others know that we're not a threat," he said.

"Sometimes the perception of danger can be more frightening than the danger itself."





(for those playing at home, the bomb is in the shoe behind the copy of the Sun.)

If we say there is a larger police presence, then there is a larger police presence.


Posters which aim to make commuters feel safer in the wake of the bomb attacks have gone on display on London's Tube network.
They pass on the message that there are more police patrols, search teams, random checks and police dogs on trains and at stations, than before.

London Underground (LU) said the posters also call on the public to work with them by remaining vigilant.

The poster campaign has been launched by Transport for London (TfL).

LU managing director Tim O'Toole said: "Tube services are now back to normal and we're determined to keep transport in London as safe as possible.

"We work very closely with the police, but we also need the continued support of our passengers."

The posters also passengers to be responsible for their belongings and not leave bags unattended in an attempt to prevent any more disruption.

The temptation is to get one and put terrible things in it, yes.

I'm filling mine to capacity with racy underpants, some edible... some crotchless, and a hand grenade.
