- Photo 1: this illustrates the risk of terrorists taking explosives in cans or tubes on to a plane – fluids and pastes are currently prohibited from flights
- Photo 2: this illustrates the need to wear visible clothing in the street. These school kids have been given hi-vis jackets, presumably so that they won’t be hit by motorists, or perhaps so that the teachers can make sure they don’t lose any kids.
