I'm hungry

It seems that the vending machines have been removed from city train stations this week. Vanished into fat air, they did. Now I learn that the reason is just as stupid as I feared; the powers that be are convinced that there is a group of terrorists lined up replace twisties and coke cans with grenades and pipe bombs. Of course, silly me. It's obvious, really. Not paranoid or ridiculous at all. 'The terrorists' are going around putting bombs in vending machines, then collapsing with laughter when some poor innocent commuter pays $2.10 and receives, instead of the delicious snack he's expecting, a rather violent explosion.

Really, people, when we start getting this paranoid haven't the terrorists already won (to coin a phrase)? Although I suppose, since the bins have been removed from the stations already for the same reason, the lack of vending machines will cut down on litter.
