I work on the railway and yes we frequently have to destroy a suspect unattended item. If the owner can be identified either beofre or after a controlled explosion they are prosectuted. It is taken extremely seriously these days

I worked at a hotel in Blackpool when the Conservatives were here and someone left a briefcase in the car park. The bomb squad came and blew it up. That was fun to watch.

Yes but only if it deemed dangerous. They usually call out the bomb squad and have the dogs sniff it. If the dogs deem that it is harmless, they open it.

No doubt, yes

Yes. I worked at Union Station in DC a couple years ago it happened there. We would be evauated at least once a month for suspicous packagaes more than often they were destryoed unless someone immediately claimed them

Yes. Damn irritating. I travel a lot and I've lost count of the number of times I've been delayed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris because they had to blow up some luggage.

They are very efficient, because they get so much practise, but it still causes a 30-40 minute delay when they evacuate that part of the airport and detonate the left luggage.

Yes it has at PIT

yeah i had a cat in my bag in they blew it up... not really... that would be pretty neat though.

If it is thought to contain explosives, it would be destroyed in a controlled explosion.
