Security in London

After 7th July, you'd have thought that London would develop some kind of security mechanism on its stations. Talking with Joah about this, she claimed that since 3 million people use the tube every morning, having some security over the tube stations is impossible and would shut down the city's business area, as everyone would reach work 2 hours later than usual.

However, ever since that horrible terrorist attack, there have been numerous bomb scares, causing tube stations to be delayed and sometimes stopped, causing millions of people to be late for work. More than that, today 4 minor explosions caused the city's transportation system to reach a halt. At the moment no injuries are reported and I sincerely hope that none would, but this is ridiculous. A guard at the enterance of the station might have delayed millions, but it would've prevented this damage in routine life.

And on a personal note: Joah is supposed to reach the airport and was evacuated from one of the lines because of this bombing. She wasn't injured, thank god, but she Is delayed, and with her others, I am sure. The plane has already been delayed by 30 minutes and I do hope it's enough.

We have to meet before the begining of August.
