Pattaya28 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 All meaningless "show". Everyone carries a bag, holdall, sports bag, rucksack, laptop bag, carrier bag. Are the Police now going to stop and search every bag ? Impossible, and pointless. And what is the purpose of this entourage ? Oh I forgot, "show".

Chang_paarp Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 So the powers that be think a suspect on the run will carry evidence conveniently for them to find? Or are they nervous that their precious patch might be targeted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't carry any of those when I venture out into the South Pattaya Entertainment Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Walking down middle of the street isn't going to locate any bomb.... Do they have any bomb sniffing dogs or still relying on the sham bomb detector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddinChonburi Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 They were using dogs in Bangkok, seems like they are just trying to give that false sense of security warm fuzzy feeling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbymack Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yes, only serves to scare and put off people coming to Walking Street, Pattaya and Thailand, which is presumably the opposite of what they want. Good excuse for the Junta to suppress the nation further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razer Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 This is an attempt to show competence but absolutely revealing the incompetence. The government needs posters (in Thai) educating people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD13 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 It's better than them doing nothing Be grateful for small mercies Although it would be a good idea if the Police had at least one "sniffer dog" ......it could send out a message Over to you Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I was at Don Mueang airport and noticed a backpack left on a seat. I went and told a staff member at a desk by one of the gates and she asked me what she should do. Call security, I suggested. She did, and no-one answered the phone. I'll show you the bag, I said, and she walked ahead of me up the terminal and walked right past. Didn't even see it. Just as we got to the bag someone came and collected it. I then walked back to her desk by the gate, and there were two more bags left there at the entrance to the airbridge. What about those, I asked. Oh, they belong to the (Thai) crew. They left them there, she replied. Really, what chance has Thailand got with such imbeciles around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't carry any of those when I venture out into the South Pattaya Entertainment Zone. Neither do I. Ive always found a pocket full of money is all you need for a good time down there.

konying Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I realize its a silly question, but what bomb detection training have any of them received? For example there are letter bombs, do they know how to spot one? There are ball bombs, do they know how to spot one? There are laptop bombs and bombs which go off because of a phone call or radio frequency. I applaud their efforts to show tight security, but i am afraid if a real bomber was in the area, they would most likely either miss him/her or assist in setting it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
