more on suspicious packages

Readers with good memories will recall that on Feb 28th I wrote of my wife and I seeing a package on a tube train and wondering whether to report it or not, with the risk of great disruption or a loud bang. Well today we had our answer. On the Tube again on a different line the driver announced that a suitcase had been left on the train and it had been reported, and an inspector would collect it at the next station (name given). So two minutes later we drew into the station, the rail official came into our carriage, took up the case by the handle and trundled off with it. The train then proceeded on its journey. No delay, no evacuation, no loud bang, no disruption, no bomb squad. Trouble is, I worry too much.
