💨 Abstract

Following a knife attack on a UK train, there are calls to introduce airport-style security measures on trains. This could include baggage scanners and guards with pepper spray. However, experts and readers are divided. Some suggest increased police presence or CCTV monitoring, while others argue that airport-style security is impractical due to multiple station entrances and the high volume of passengers. The transport secretary has ruled out installing such scanners, citing the impracticality for the UK's extensive railway network.
