Sniffer Dogs on the Tube
New security measures have been introduced by the police, which involve using X-ray equipment and sniffer dogs to screen the Tube and some mainline rail passengers. Ministers have ruled out using full airport-stle security screening after trials at stations in 2006 found it to be too disruptive and surveys showed passengers would be unlikely to accept any major delays and wanted their privacy protected.
The British Transport Police (BTP) said the new measures would cause only minimal disruption. More sniffer dogs would be used, who are trained to sniff out any explosives. Timescale and exact locations are yet to be confirmed.
BTP Superintendent Phil Trendall said: “With the use of these X-ray machines and new additional specialist trained search dogs, we are able to screen passengers in a manner that is proportionate to the ongoing security risk and with minimal disruption to their journey.”
I love seeing sniffer dogs at work and you can expect to see more sniffer dogs around the place in future!
