As a Londoner, im really thankful for all the hard work the Counter Terrorism people do.
Days like this make me scared to live here.

After seeing a place charge £7 for a miserable looking salmon bagel I can understand why you might be tempted to bomb City Airport.
Similarly, I recently opened an envelope. I'm lucky to be alive.
Very little I'm guessing since one was opened and it just burned the envelope
Dude don't be a twat.
I was in London at the weekend, at least the bombs were found before they caused harm.
The law literally decided this kind of thing is fine, on the basis that it's very obviously a joke.

Speaking as a Londoner myself, no, not really. Not going to let these scumbags scare me or change my schedule.
Fine, he can't be put in jail for it, but that doesn't mean we can't think he's an asshole for making light of what could have been a very serious situation. Let's not forget that even though it failed, someone plotted this.
Ok, I'll go and very solemnly think about that for a while and have no fun in life at all then. Sounds good.
See us British folk laugh at it and get on with it, we don't live in constant fear
It would be a terrible shame to die before brexit though. I want to see how this shit ends
Can't say that some tiny explosive devices that cause the jiffy envelope they are contained in to start burning when they are torn open ranks as one my fears when flying.
This merits my derision not my fear.
As a Londoner it's exactly this kind of situation you do make light of.
You will unfortunately have to believe therefore that most Londoners are arseholes ;)
I'm going into London to get food with some mates this weekend. One of the things that spook me most about London isn't the threat of bombs or anything, it's acid attacks. That shit fucking gets me SPOOKED.
Quoted for truth. As a Londoner myself, his dumb joke made me chuckle.
That was outside London and it certainly made the news.
Nevermind, I misread, sorry.
You mean the press in the US are blowing something out of proportion. Shock.
im near the ramgate to charing cross line, and that passes through waterloo east.
Well till it's discovered the attacker is a brown face terrorist then it will be front page new but if it's a white face terrorist then it will be glossed over.
christ. I was at both Heathrow and Waterloo station last week. that's sobering.
we were joking about the "see something. say something. sorted." british warning campaign but hey I guess it works

I wasn't suggesting you need to feel fear, just posted a remark when up in the air quite a lot of thing less destructive on land can be deadly.
Sensitive topic?!? To who?!? The envelope???
Tsk 3 days way too harsh
Can we even call it a bomb? It sounds less harmful than a firecracker.
Shouldn't an explosive device, by definition, be made to explode?
Was this a threat meant to do harm? Or was it gross mischief? I mean, if these packages were meant to be taken onto a plane, then we'd see some real harm. But there really are no details in the story.
