There were no drills going on.
I know because I missed getting on the train that blew between Liverpool St and Aldgate east because I wanted a coffee. I almost took that one due to rain.
I turned and exited the tube entrance at Liverpool st station and it went off.
There were NO drills at this site.
If anyone had run drills at any other time, then this would be one station you WOULD use to drill at because it is a very likely target. Exercising in the boonies at a station like Swiss cottage would be stupid. You exercise at all the important stations where one or more lines run together.
The bombers themselves were acting strangely for people who expect to die, arguing over being short changed, popping into MacDonalds for a burger, buying return train tickets.
Bullshit.
How exactly does someone who expects to die act?
So you'd do things out of the ordinary to attract attention to yourself and your 3 buddies who also have large backpacks on with explosives?
As for observation, why would it matter if they pulled people off their case? Their is a limited number of surveillance operatives in any one country. Are we to watch everyone at once?
