is it just me but does it seem like there has been way more police and bomb sniffer dogs at the underground station lately. one guy reacted to the dog when it started sniffing him (maybe he is scared of dogs) and the police really were quite rough with him. hmmmmm

For those who like racial profiling theories, both of the guys were white. One was smartly dressed. This leads me to believe that at least the dogs are not racist.
When I stood there quietly exercising my citizen's rights from a decent distance I was threatened with arrest if I didn't move on.
I'm black though.
In the past I have just gone up to them and said, as politely as possible, "sorry, I live in the area and I wondered if you'd be able to tell me what's going on here?"
(the "living in the area" bit is key for cooperation, it's evidence for genuine concern rather than just being nosey)
i generally assume that if they've got dogs they're looking for drugs and if they're standing behind ticket inspectors they're looking for illegal immigrants.
Apparently they do it whenever Arsenal are at home, as people like to go and get cained before they see the same thing happen to Arsenal's splintery midfield. Now, everytime I see a sniffer Spaniel, I think it's George. The bastard.
