Doesn't This Make You Feel Safe?

Secret British Ministry of Defence plans for responding to a major terrorist attack have been found in a roadside ditch. According to The Scotsman,

The 46-page Ministry of Defence file was discovered in a gym bag by a member of the public. The bag, which also contained an MoD security pass, had apparently been stolen from a Major's car while he was shopping at a Sainsbury's store in the Home Counties.
Remember those old wartime Sherlock Holmes movies starring Basil Rathbone where the spies were forever hiding microfilm and whatnot in matchbooks, music boxes, volumes of Dickens and generally treating them with all the care and attention due to a used bus ticket?

Times haven't changed.
