Sad times.
Although staff have said there's no specific threat, I'm not sure it is any more reassuring to see armed coppers mooching about.
If someone of a terrorist mentallity is so determined to carry something out (inevitably blowing themselves up in the process), they're gonna do it if there's an armed copper, an un-armed one or someone in a garish corporate uniform.
There's that there paradise for them to get to. They don't get stuck with a Streetlite heading there!

It seemed an every day occurance back then. Some sort of coded warning and there was chaos.
