A project by Toby Ng, a designer in London:

The brief was set by the National Counter Terrorism Security Office and asked us to design an A1 poster that will inspire architects to engage in anti-terrorist design with ingenuity and flair. According to them, there are everyday objects on the street in front of buildings, like bus stops, lampposts, and bins etc. These could have not just an apparent function, but could have a hidden purpose – To prevent terrorist vehicle attacks. My concept is entitled Hidden Superhero and so I designed a set of Counter Terrorism Heroes.
