    There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed
    flesh. It sounds like a chemical reaction. We can but hope it's not
    "the religion of piece" proselytizing.


    Which piece is that?

    If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam.

    Okay, you've got it off your chest. Be it noted that most of the vitims

    Not on current evidence, this is the first attack in quite a while that
    wasn't a suicide attack.[1] The exception, of course, being North
    Ireland where there are still terrorist attacks involving bombs with
    either timers or other ways of being detonated that don't involve the

    Good point, not subsequently attempted again and the perpetrator was

    Or, pre-911, there was the Hindawi attempted bombing that led to the subsequent additional airport questioning: https://www.asi-mag.com/ann-marie-murphy-hindawi-affair-30th-anniversary-review/


    That was very much before 911 but wasn't a suicide attack as such. The

    It was Anwar al-Awlaki I was thinking of as the organiser, rather than
    the maker.




    Or, pre-911, there was the Hindawi attempted bombing that led to the

    Yes, and that's why passengers subsequently were asked, "Were you given anything? And did you pack it yourself?"


    Which lead to me making a formal complaint about the attitude of a
    certain airline's check in staff (no, not that one). When asked the
    statutory question about whether I'd packed my own bag, the female
    chimed in before I could reply and said I probably got my wife to do it
    as men can't pack their own bags.

    assuming that he is the actual wanted person and not just some random person

    It's not guaranteed.
    Most criminals are caught due to having some form of previous

    In both case if the perpetuator of a bank robbery or a terrorist act
    is doing it for absolutely the first time and is a lone wolf it

    Indeed, and they've wrongly arrested two innocent joggers so far. You'd
    think the jogger should be relatively easy to find, as his home location
    can be pinned down to quite a narrow area, and he must have been caught by
    many other cameras on his route.

    It's not guaranteed.
    Most criminals are caught due to having some form of previous
    interaction with the Police and establishing the end of a trail, eg a
    bank robbers trail may have started when he nicked some sweets from a
    corner shop as a 13 year old and became one to watch and whose habits
    and haunts become known.
    With a terrorist the trail may have been started by intelligence
    services observing their coming and goings with other known people
    doing suspicious activity or being seen at certain buildings.
    In both case if the perpetuator of a bank robbery or a terrorist act
    is doing it for absolutely the first time and is a lone wolf it
    becomes much harder, surveillance videos will not help if the person
    in the image cannot be recognized or are disguised unless they happen
    to turn up again elsewhere unguarded.
    There are experts at analyzing videos but as an example of how
    difficult it is to find someone with no previous look at the Jogger
    who pushed the woman into the path of a Bus recently, not even
    disguised, reasonable video from the street and the bus, loads of
    people about.
    They still have not identified anyone enough to bring charges

    Indeed, and they've wrongly arrested two innocent joggers so far. You'd
    think the jogger should be relatively easy to find, as his home location
    can be pinned down to quite a narrow area,

    Not necessarily in central London, could have jogged from his place of
    work and back (he recrossed the bridge shortly after the incident) and
    actually lives somewhere in the London commuter area, aka England.

    and he must have been caught by
    many other cameras on his route.


    But who is going to put in the effort to look at them all, once he left
    the bridge he could have gone in any direction.

    Yes, but they can work outwards from the end of the bridge to trace his
    route. That area must have plenty of cameras. And the case is high profile enough that it may be worth the effort.

    However, if, within a few days of the incident, they didn't realise that
    they needed to do it, the footage from most of the cameras may not have
    been retained.

    As would the bomber. The only question would be how long it took to

    boarded the train somewhere with his bucket-in-a-LIDL-bag.

    Yes, it's been around for many years.

    But instead of the early grainy, very low res, fuzzy, extended play VHS
    images on worn-out tapes, it's now HD quality, sharp, clear, digital
    images. Perhaps some are now 4k video quality?

    They can now also be centrally monitored and stored for much longer. And,
    in some cases, the images are automatically computer-scanned for car number plates (ANPR) and known faces.

    Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world follows.

    Yes, Bad Things happen... but the occurrence relative to overall

    Perception of safety, at least in my and general observation in our

    Seen a picture of the device on twitter with wires hanging out.

    the device had a timer (apparently)


    Which, apparently is a first for jihadi nutters if it is so.


    But not for Irish nutters.

    Or US nutters, the construction apparently being similar to the Boston
    Marathon bombings :- http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/parsons-green-tube-bomber-inspired-11176982

    If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the
    peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam.

    It does appear to be terrorism.

    Yes.

    And they've now made an arrest, in Dover.

    Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos,
    they're going to get caught?

    I dunno why youse guys in the UK aren't (constantly?) up in arms over
    the seemingly massive surveillance you appear to live under.

    If anything, people seem to want more of it, as they feel safer with it.

    And 'they' don't really think/consider beyond, as to how it affects
    their individual right to unobserved movement.

    The state (in Canaduh anyway) has no right to know where I might or
    might not be.

    And please don't launch the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have
    nothing to fear" defence at me.

    Why not? It's exactly what most people think.

    That's a surrender to un-involved citizenship. Big word:
    acquiescence.



    To an outsider, watching your exports of TV programming involving
    fictional crime (e.g. the rather ancient series 'Scott and Bailey')
    suggests that a mind-boggling Big Brother watch-it has been around for
    more than a few years.

    Yes, it's been around for many years.

    Sad.

    Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world
    follows.

    Interestingly, the crime rate in Canaduh has been dropping for
    decades.

    Yes, Bad Things happen... but the occurrence relative to overall
    population ain't growing.

    Perception of safety, at least in my and general observation in our
    major urban areas, is stable or improving... and remember, we're a
    welcoming, multi-cultural society.


    One key thing is you don't have anything like the British tabloid press
    which delights in keeping the population in a state of panic. What
    Canadian newspapers I've seen on visits appear to be fairly staid in
    comparison and some even have news in.

    But instead of the early grainy, very low res, fuzzy, extended play VHS
    images on worn-out tapes, it's now HD quality, sharp, clear, digital
    images. Perhaps some are now 4k video quality?

    How many would sir like ?
    https://www.cctvcameraworld.com/4k-ip-cameras.html

    I wonder how widely installed those are? Most installed cameras are well behind the state-of-the-art.


    All new vehicles (trains, buses, trams, etc) will have had them fitted
    since they became available. Its older stock and fixed installations
    that don't get changed so often. I expect there are still a few tube
    cameras out there more than 30 years after CCD cameras became ubiquitous.

    I was once caught urinating in New Street Station by cctv. I had gone
    off the platform onto some gravel, but there was a camera there.
    But were you Caught live so to speak by someone watching in real time
    or a day or so later after a picture of bits of you appeared on
    Newsnight.
    Perhaps you were lucky they didn't announce on the tannoy, " will the

    the end of the platform".

    At around 200 squid a time possibly roughly the same good/bad quality
    spread among users applies as before when it seemed to be "TV" quality
    v. something cheaper ?

    The cost of CCTV systems is much more than just a consumer grade camera.
    For public surveillance not only is there the backhaul, but they are
    often able to pan and tilt, and need much better sensitivity/
    illumination than those listed.

    Have you actually installed and used those cheapo ones? They are OK for
    the passageway down the side of a shop, but not much else.

    Look at Train CCTV of man with with bag getting on at station xxx
    look at CCTV at station xxx for the time period you expect someone on
    that train to have entered the station and see same man with same bag
    touching in.
    Strike lucky and find he used a registered Oyster card.

    Just a guess mind.

    A friend who was in the police said many minor criminals aren't that
    bright and often make one mistake which is all that is needed .

    One I recall he mentioned was the interviewing of a suspect who had
    previous form and had been brought in because of a torch dropped at
    the scene.
    Suspect was a getting a bit cockier as he got older and argued that no
    way could they have found any prints on the scene because he had
    learnt inside Prison always to wear gloves and the torch they said he
    had handled would be clean and he had never seen it before.
    "can you explain how your prints got on the batteries inside the
    Torch ? was the next question.

    else then added a comment saying the story was unfair on her boyfriend

    The cost of CCTV systems is much more than just a consumer grade camera.
    For public surveillance not only is there the backhaul, but they are
    often able to pan and tilt, and need much better sensitivity/
    illumination than those listed.

    Have you actually installed and used those cheapo ones? They are OK for
    the passageway down the side of a shop, but not much else.

    There's not much point having pan and tilt if you haven't got someone
    to operate it; the "do you know this person?" pictures generally seem
    to come from fixed cameras. The need for moveable cameras is reduced
    by siting fixed cameras at pinch points; each moveable camera is
    likely to augment several fixed cameras depending on purpose. When you
    get to the point of needing to track a specific target then you
    probably are needing more moveable cameras (and zoom lenses).

    If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the
    peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam.

    It does appear to be terrorism.

    Yes.

    And they've now made an arrest, in Dover.

    Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos,
    they're going to get caught?

    I dunno why youse guys in the UK aren't (constantly?) up in arms over
    the seemingly massive surveillance you appear to live under.

    If anything, people seem to want more of it, as they feel safer with it.

    And 'they' don't really think/consider beyond, as to how it affects
    their individual right to unobserved movement.

    The state (in Canaduh anyway) has no right to know where I might or
    might not be.

    And please don't launch the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have
    nothing to fear" defence at me.

    Why not? It's exactly what most people think.

    That's a surrender to un-involved citizenship. Big word:
    acquiescence.

    Yes, it's been around for many years.

    Sad.

    Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world
    follows.

    Interestingly, the crime rate in Canaduh has been dropping for
    decades.

    What's with your unfunny misspellings? They just make your posts less >readable.

    Oh please, lighten up!

    They are at least deliberately consistent.

    Seen a picture of the device on twitter with wires hanging out.

    the device had a timer (apparently)

    Maybe LU can find out how one works,
    and fit them in their line control offices.

    Makes perfect sense to me. LU timetables are just fiction. Someone should invest in buying the drivers and signalmen some watches at least. Oh, and

    Because as a couple of hundred people are sitting in a train with a green

    Another nice-to-have would be an auto cutoff interval on the PA if the driver decides he's a budding talk radio host and spends 2 minutes telling us the bleedin fecking obvious.

    well having grown up on a route where turns started at the terminus (Morden)
    I suppose that I never experienced that problem

    Because as a couple of hundred people are sitting in a train with a green
    light waiting for the relief driver to turn up to take over, perhaps
    having
    an alarm bell in the mess might remind him that he's paid to drive the
    damn
    thing.

    well having grown up on a route where turns started at the terminus (Morden) >I suppose that I never experienced that problem

    Congratulations, you had utl post 80000 on the aioe server :)

    But you're right it does happen on the Picc at Acton

    And arnos grove and no doubt rayners lane too.

    But I still don't see that it's down to the individual not knowing the time. >They just do it because they can.

    Well thats probably true unfortunately.

    There's not much point having pan and tilt if you haven't got someone
    to operate it; the "do you know this person?" pictures generally seem
    to come from fixed cameras.

    Tell that to the installers of the tens of thousands of cameras which do
    pan and tilt.

    The need for moveable cameras is reduced by siting fixed cameras at pinch >>>points;

    No, I've been working in one of many areas where that is exactly what
    is done when an offender leaves the scene of their crime. They're
    generally too thick to go off down a side street so we've often
    watched the police with us just waiting for them to walk/run past.

    I never had a problem with spooks following people on CCTV

    Through a set of the local authority's radios used by door staff,

    They don't need to look smart, just to get the right person. There might
    be less paperwork and fewer awkward questions if it was seemingly lucky
    chance, rather than something which could give some vague clue as to how
    they knew.

    ISTR once reading about an aircraft being sent to fly past a major
    German warship, in the hope that when the ship came under attack shortly afterwards the Kriegsmarine would think that the plane had happened to
    stumble across it, rather than suspect that someone might be reading
    their messages and finding them that way.

    I'm inclined to think that the alternative is the greater deterrent, to be honest.

    Announcing that they did, in fact, manage to identify the perp's name using normal policing looking at CCTV is going to worry them into stopping
    attacking such targets - after all it's no secret that the CCTV is there,
    and I doubt that any of theses copycat cells have the resources to disable
    it.

    Keeping it secret that they can do this, is no deterrent at all.

    and it is the deterrent that we need here. Catching the perf after he has killed 100 people is not a successful outcome.

    That tends to happen at night. If the cameras are available then it
    would seem to be sensible to use them for observing the traffic at
    other times.

    That's not in fact in their business case. Also, being observable only
    at the police station, when these days the police have no interest in
    the smooth flow of traffic in town centres. As far as I can see they
    don't even turn out to RTAs which block the road unless someone
    specifically calls them.

    In the above case, the cameras are usually "parked" around 4am after
    the clubs have closed, not necessarily all aimed at something as at
    least one (not at a junction) is just left pointing down.

    The one I saw was doing its pan-dance in the middle of the day.

    another in London; are either firmly linked to forensics from CCTV and
    the bucket, or because of something else?

    Turns out to be "something else".

    Well, they're still making arrests:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41327872

    Most likely "associated with/linked to" one or both of the first two arrestees, rather than to the bucket or CCTV in west London.

    I wouldn't claim to know.

    That was part of standard policy for "Ultra".

    Basically, no information from Enigma decrypts could be used in the
    field unless there was a plausible non-crypto-related explanation that
    the Germans would believe. Of course, the information could be used to
    generate that "explanation".

    So, in the example I think you're thinking of, a decrypt would indicate
    where and when an attack submarine was meeting with a tanker submarine
    to refuel - this had to be done on the surface and neither could
    submerge during the process. So a reconnaisance squadron was instructed
    to send a plane out in that specific area. To their surprise, they would
    find the two subs sitting there and could whistle up some bombers. If
    the submariners survived the experience, they would report that they got spotted by a plane.
