I used to work on an MOD site in Kent. When I was there we had a site lock down because of a bomb scare.

It turned out to be an old case put out for disposal. Later on a site notice came around that case put out for disposal must be ripped open.

You can never be too careful though

Once, for reasons I can not state here, we received an unmarked package from Northen Island. Dad had to come home from work and the package was removed to the bottom of the garden.

As children we were not allowed to touch the post or get in the cars until they had been checked.

Anyone, like I have, who have lived under the shadow of terrorism on a personal level should not make light of this. :nono

Big Brother is a key media event and therefore by some is considered a legitimate target.


BTW the package was my brother's watch back from repair
