and drop your broom.

I saw a couple of guys with sniffer dogs, plus 4 or 5 other security guys, all in smart uniforms, checking around Phayathai BTS station yesterday morning. They were accompanied by several soldiers. Maybe someone expecting trouble?

Unless it's a demonstration of how-to-not-accidentally-fire-the-thing-if-found-ready-action-on-the-scene, that's an odd picture, considering the headline Also, most people don't need a whole lot of clues if someone's seen with one of them things.

I was from the Army before, this is how we deal with bombs.
