I guess the bomb in Madrid has made international security forces a little bit jittery. (Not that I blame them, of course)
Today, A. and I rode the S-Bahn into downtown Munich and when we came up the escalator at Karlsplatz-Stachus (a main station) we were greeted by the sight of an officially taped off area that was being guarded by the border control police, who are also in charge of terrorism. We didn't stop to check the whole thing out, but as we were walking by we saw that a lone suitcase was in the middle of the blocked-off perimeter and we heard some guy ask the police if they thought it was a bomb.
We went about our business and about 45 minutes later when we walked back by the same area, everything was back to normal, except that there were an unusual number of police roaming about. But these days, I guess you can't be to careful...
