You steal the keys to the truck or jump in when the driver leaves it running while making a delivery. I've never tried to rent a bigger truck, but rented a 3.5 ton luton van a few months ago with no issues. Tht is big enough to cause some damage. End of life 7.5 ton trucks regularly sell for a few hundred quid. I'm not saying that this incident wasn't planned, just that driving a truck in to a croud requires very little planning. You seem to be suggesting that only a tiny number, a handful of people are prepared to carry out such acts. I'm not sure if you actually believe this, or your fixed liberal mind set prevents you from taking in all the available information. It seems that you'd prefer to believe what you want to believe, what you hope is the truth, rather than forming an opinion that's more rational. For example, I've already mentioned it, in Britain alone around 500 individuals who are believed to be potential terrorists are being closely watched. This number would be greater, the service says, if resources allowed for it. This seems a common trait amongst those who believe in so called modern social liberalism. Believe the facts that suit you and deny the rest. Bigotry, which is quite ironic really, given that those of this mind set liberally (no pun intended) used and still use the racist card against anyone who thought/ thinks differently to them. "500 individuals who are believed to be potential terrorists" So how many actual terrorists? I would bet on less than 10.. My opinion is perfectly rational. If there were lots of terrorists, there would be lots of attacks. Attacks are fairly rare so there can't be many serious terrorists.. It is you that has the irrational opinion, scared of the bogeyman that doesn't exist. This has fuck all to do with political leanings to the left or right, I'm just looking at the fact that attacks are rare and drawing a logical conclusion.

Once again, you're ignoring facts, that at least 6 planned terrorist atrocities have been thwarted in the last 18 months in Britain alone, through intelligence. Or perhaps you ignore that, believing it to be a conspiracy theory, dreamt up by the British government in order to create hostility between different groups. The government taking on the role of UKIP, if you like.

If there really were hundreds or thousands of terrorists it would be a hell of a lot more than six.

As a truck driver, I'm so worried about being the victim of a copycat attack that I've started carrying a bacon sandwich in my cab to ward off would-be hijackers.

I noticed today that there are some pretty good deals on alcohol as well. A box of fosters, while being a last resort for actually drinking, would make a good weapon

If there really were hundreds or thousands of terrorists it would be a hell of a lot more than six. I was going to come in with what Ricco said. That our security agencies crack down on most sleeper cells and terrorists before they can do anything. They do monitor a lot of people's every day movements as well. I seem to find that with the likes of terror attacks on us were upset that it happened but just as upset that it wasent stopped. I wonder how many they do stop regularly. I will agree there probaly is not many terrorists here but I bet there is a few and any one else could arrive quite easily
