"Get used to officers with guns, police chief warns Scots"

[Mr Tomkins, chief constable of Lothian and Borders Police] told The Scotsman that the increased terrorist threat meant the sight of armed police on Scotland's streets was likely to become more common. . . .

Last month's bombings saw a massive increase in the presence of armed officers on the streets of London, and Mr Tomkins said that the Scottish public should also expect to see an increasingly visible armed presence. Armed officers are regularly deployed at Scottish airports, and after the 7/7 attacks they were also to be seen at train stations in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
