Wait, that doesn't make any sense. If the see-through bins solved a problem, why would they be removed when a different problem appears? They're independent problems, removing the bins when they're not involved in the new kind of attacks seems just random.

Yep, pretty much. I live not-in-London and during one of the heightened periods of security last year (armed police everywhere) all clear bag bins were removed from the metro and bus stations. This of course led to littering. It didn't make any sense.
