What a strange thread! What do the security services expect to find in a cycle pannier - an explosive puncture repair kit or maybe a pair of sharpened cycle clips? I don't use panniers but if I did and found some jobsworth rifling through my private possessions I'd be extremely put out.
Interestingly the terror threat has never actually been at either of the two lowest levels, it’s always been “severe” or substantial”. Given that there hasn’t been a terrorist attack on the rail network for nearly twenty years, it does seem pretty clear that the current threat level is much lower than the security servioces would have you believe!
