By seeing if any mail looks suspicious in the post room before opening it, I'd imagine a letter bomb would be a bit heavier than a normal letter so they'd just have to be careful.
Letter bomb injures DVLA worker

What i mean is, recently they have been preventing many instances where life could have been lost, they have been watching (and still are) and monitoring terrorist plots for sometime.
How is this one that they have no intel on? surely they have something that triggers alarm bells so that it doesnt get through the web.
Don't forgot, you only hear about the terrorist acts that go ahead.
it's only occasionaly you hear about the ones that get prevented in a early stage.

Your just not getting it. The only way Intel can be picked up is if the bomber communicates with someone over this. If this is a lone crazy man and he doesn't tell anyone what he is about to do, then it would be exetremly unlikey to discover the plot, plus the police are concentrating on asian men in mosqus, i but good money his white (In he past letter bombing camplains tended to be white, middle-aged men)Booner! said:

How would you do it?
its like trying to prevent a murder. if I managed to get a gun, stood at the back of a crowd, shot someone and smartly moved off, unless it was recorded I could almost expect to get away with it
You could somehow track the movement of that parcel
For instance it might have a bar code, stamp, postage date on it
I am sure they could then use forensics off it to trace culprit.
Though i am no terror expert, you would need to ask a pro for that info.
I doubt you would get away with it, eye witnesses?

Well, no..there'd be a powder trail, a bullet with a serial number linking it to the gun you used..etc..Chronos-X said:How would you do it?

Booner, it's incredibly easy to get away with murder, bombing, theft etc.
It's the people that get caught which we hear about, but so many more people break the law and no one even knows about it and even when they do know, I'd say the majority of cases simply can't be solved.
It's stupid really. I mean, if a guy breaks into someones house and steals their TV he is labelled scum, a criminal. But if someone masterminds a £10,000,000 bank robbery and is not found. He is a genius and respected, in some respects.
People who get caught, deserve to be caught because they're stupid. We're all born the same way into this world, with absolutely no choice. Some of us are born into a crappy life, some into a great life with oppertunities. This is what drives people to want more and more.
This causes all sorts of groups of people with grudges, envy, greed etc.
This is going way off-topic now, but my point is that not everyone can be caught because there are millions of types of people with millions of different agendas and reasonigs behind them. This type of thing will always happen. At least until everything is watched, computerised and logged.
Blah.

One system that could work is. Before you post mail you have to go to the Post Office and get a 'tag' this is a stick with a small inexpensive chip in it.
Each post box has a scanner which, as soon as you post the letter, logs the exact time and date.
With the system and sufficient cameras, we could find the post box, then the time, roll the camera recording and get a clear image of the person who posted it.
It would also make tracking a lot easy and more efficient if the letters/parcels where scanned at several points in their journey.
Post office > Post box > sorting office > delivery van and, finally, the guy who posts it.
But if we wanted something like that, we'd all be paying a hell of a lot for it.

Depending on which way it goes, you have a choice of 2 Daily Mail headlines.
"CRIME RATES SOAR"
Whites to die out like Red Squirrel
or
"BLAIR'S BIG BIOMETRIC BROTHER BRITAIN"
Now its Fruit Salad and Rainbow-Jacks!
Take your pic, whatever happens someones nose will be put out of joint
I think it would be easy to do once or twice..same with murder
if you are not known to the police, and there are no witnesses it must be feasible to get away with 1 or 2 crimes
even if they could trace back the parcel..theres nothing to match it against if you have no police record, no fingerprints on file or a DNA sample
if you think about it....you could randomly kill somebody..perhaps a charva in a back lane somewhere...as long as there are no witnesses and the killer had no previous form..whats to tie the 2 together?
its only if you continue to commit crimes, the risk increase of being seen or you make a mistake or a pattern emerges which leads back to the criminal
if this bomber had left it at 1 or maybe 2 he might get away with it..the more packages he sends the more they run the risk of discovery...somebody might remember selling a dozen jiffy bags to somebody..they will know the rough area they have been posted from..
somebody smart would have bought individual envelopes from different locations..then posted them from a few different places..maybe from a different county.

!Think about it.
All these attacks (regardless of who from, the general public will blame 'certain' people), the fact that everyone complains about muslims demanding so much, immigration problems, the war, beheadings of our people etc etc. All of this stuff. How long will it be before the people of the UK will not take it anymore, and what can be expected to happen?
Civil war? A massive protest involving millions?
What if 25% of the country went on strike and refused to go to work?
I mean, there is only so much the people of a nation will take before they take matters into their own hands, right? I think it's amazing we, and the west as a whole, has taken it all so far without too many outbursts.

aye because muslim radicals are really going to see their profile rising by sending bangers through the post to the DVLA
they probably dont even know where swansea is!
perhaps Jeremy Clarkson has finally snapped ?!
people will be smart enough to realise its just some nutjob by himself..probably middle aged and living with his mother..always keeps himeslf to himself etc

AJUK said:Whilst, of course, I do not condone the actions of the bombers I can't help thinking "At last, a worthy cause for a bit of terrorism." The government and quangos have been screwing us over for years, how about a bit of payback.
utter cobblers...as its the poor buggers in the post room on scale 2 who get bits blown off them
nothing of this sort is justified as its never the responsible people who pay the price
