[Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard’s antiterrorist branch] said the containers that held the explosives — 6.25-liter models made of clear plastic with white lids and bearing the brand name Delta — were imported from India and sold at 100 outlets. He urged any shopkeepers who sold five or more at the same time or to the same customer to contact police.
Ok, I’m no anti-terrorism expert or anything, but is this really what we’ve come to? That we’re going to start monitoring when people are buying plastic containers? And assuming that the terrorists read mainstream media, wouldn’t it be relatively easy for them to just not buy them from the same shop in quantities of five or more? And why five? There were four bombs each time. Why isn’t four the magic number? *sighs*
