Yes, I know we have that risk on trains, buses and the DLR as well, but they don't have a nice confined tunnel to focus the blast back on to the train (and therefore the passengers).
Monumentally stupid idea, IMO.

I think it would be sad to declare victory to the terrorists like that.
Others around the world manage it. Germany has its own security problems with islamic extremism but they still have it and there hasn't been a bomb attack on the U-bahn. And their scheme is smaller, but only 2.5x smaller. The difference is that they plan and run their system properly.
