Got to feel sorry for the person at the centre of this story

Them trying to give up smoking brought the motorway network to its knees. I wonder if that has helped them give up for good now

Another victory for terroism, that and the millions of man hours lost at airports doing invasive searches etc.

Each act of terroism reduces our living standards, and makes us live in fear.

Just ludicrous! what a ridiculous waste of money, an extreme over reaction to a situation! I mean electronic cigarette - just give up smoking and stop letting everyone around you know what a brave boy you are!!!

Oh and the police took it a bit far too!

Is it too far though - Think of incidents like the shoe bomber where his attempts to blow up a plan were stopped when people saw smoke coming from his shoes.

There is also another element to consider and that is the IRA used the threat of bombing the motorways to bring the UK government to the peace talks. (Before the peace process started the IRA phoned in a series of bomb hoaces saying their were bombs on the motorway. This resulted in motorways being shutdown all over the country, crippling business.).

Lets not forget we are only a week or two away from the Olympics now and bus loads of tourists would be an attractive target for terrorists.
