UK Spends Billions to Force Rail Terrorists to Drive a Little Further
Makes no sense:
Passengers at Liverpool’s Lime Street station face airport-style searches and bag-screening, under swingeing new anti-terror measures unveiled yesterday.
And security barriers, vehicle exclusion zones and blast-resistant buildings will be introduced at airports, ports and up to 250 of the busiest train stations, Gordon Brown announced.
Of course, less busy train stations are only a few minutes away by car.

Sadly, this kind of nonsense seems more designed to make people get used to intrusive searches than to deter any potential terrorists.
