mina2 6 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I was on the Joetsu Shink today - a few thing I noticed: Tons of police at the station - many more than usual. All the gomibakos in the train were completely sealed off - you couldnt put anything in them. Said for "security". All seemed a bit excessive. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Police have been walking around with dogs at stations recently too. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I noticed that at the weekend - all of the bins covered up. Strange. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 That's thanks to the War on Terror bringing exciting new opportunities for terror prevention. Don't forget, the world is a safer and freer place now that Iraq has been liberated. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Thanks for reminding me. How foolish of me to forget that! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 No, no, no Ocean. Its the people of Iraq who are in a better position now than under Saddam's leadership... They have more freedom, better protection, better education, a safer environment, and finally a chance to rule their OWN country... Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 They sealed up the bins in the stations after the sarin attack in 1995. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 They have bins in train stations here? First I've seen of them. The only bins I have seen in Japan are in my kitchen and outside Lawsons. They should just get rid of the bins in the stations altogether, thats what London did in response to the IRA stuff decades ago. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 That is the first time the bins on the shinks have been covered up. Link to post Share on other sites
