Because a lot of crime goes on whilst people are queuing (pick-pocketing, looking over shoulders to memorise people's account details) and let's be honest, if someone is going to try to cause as little commotion as possible, they are hardly likely to wait in the queue wearing a Saddam mask are they? A lot of the time they look like normal people who hand over a note saying "I have a gun blah blah...put money in the bag blah..."

If they'd brought in enough officers then a good example would have been set. As it stands now all the protestors (some of whom want to kill
you too btw) who wore disguises are safe in the knowledge they can do this again and get away with inciting murder as long as they remember to bring a good scarf

...thereby giving people plenty of time to go to ground.

No idea. Perhaps what you thought was a 3 was actually a 9.
