But there's nothing to stop a pedestrian simply walking into a shop
or other premises, or even simply in the street, and setting off a
bomb. I understand it's happened once or twice in various parts of
the world.


Warrington, when the IRA murdered two innocent kids? Or Manchester,
when they had the "decency" to give a warning and blew half of the
city center up?


Or Docklands, or numerous places in Palestine/Israel, or several hundred
other location around the world. What's your point?


You said "Once or twice", I was providing examples supporting your
argument. Of course it's a lot more then "once or twice".
