| Quote: | A London underground station was evacuated and part of a main east-west line closed in a security alert on Thursday, three weeks after suicide bombers killed 52 people on the transport network, police said. (Reuters)
This Reuters story was written while the police were detaining me in Southwark tube station and the bomb squad was checking my rucksack. When they were through, the two explosive specialists walked out of the tube station smiling and commenting: "Nice laptop." The officers offered apologies on behalf of the Metropolitan police. Then they arrested me. |
| Quote: | They handcuff me, hands behind my back, and take my rucksack out of my sight. They explain that this is for my safety, and that they are acting under the authority of the Terrorism Act. I am told that I am being stopped and searched because:
? they found my behaviour suspicious from direct observation and then from watching me on the CCTV system;
? I went into the station without looking at the police officers at the entrance or by the gates;
? two other men entered the station at about the same time as me;
? I am wearing a jacket "too warm for the season";
? I am carrying a bulky rucksack, and kept my rucksack with me at all times;
? I looked at people coming on the platform;
? I played with my phone and then took a paper from inside my jacket. |
Anyone here know anyone that fits that description? |
