1) the BBC does not have adverts, instead you pay for the license, and with those channels with adverts, they are on every 15 minutes, unlike your ones which are on 5 mins before the end and after the start of a programme
2) the bag thing is because if you are on a train and there is a bag without an owner, it might have a bomb in it, i'm not sure why we would think of it as an 'act of terrorism'

Pennsylvania

I fail to see whats funny... duels happened a lot in 19th century America. Alexander Hamilton was killed in one by Aaron Burr, President Jackson is a noted duelist? Whats so hilarious?

And technically a duel can still occur in the state of Pennsylvania, the code of honor is still accepted so a challenged person must accept. The victor however is sentenced to either fine or imprisonment or loss of American citizenship for 7 years - under the statues of the State of Pennsylvania.
