It seems dopey Prime Minister David Cameron

The blundering PM strolled off from his table, leaving the red box behind 
with the key still in it and no security within touching distance. The 
words "Prime Minister" were clear for all to see.

Luckily for Mr Cameron, those on the train from London to Edinburgh were 
an honest bunch and snubbed the opportunity to rifle through his secret 
papers, which critics fear could have contained details on plans for 
military strikes on Syria.

One astonished passenger told how he stopped to take a picture of the red 
case and said nobody intervened.

Downing Street insisted the box was being watched at all times, but our 
source said he could easily have snatched it.

The passenger, from Essex, told how he got on the 7.44am train late at 
King’s Cross on Saturday and was looking for a seat when he spotted Mr 
Cameron, who was going to a wedding near York, in the buffet car. It was 
closed at the time. He recognised the Tory leader and said the PM gave him 
a smile.

Our man added: "I carried on walking through the train and two carriages 
on I saw the PM's red briefcase on a table all alone. First of all I 
couldn’t believe that Cameron was on the train unprotected, I just walked 
past him.

"I could freely bump into this guy and there was no security or anyone 
around him. And secondly it was incredible that his briefcase was lying 
there just like that.

"I could have quite easily have damaged it or scratched it or run off with 
it. And above all I couldn’t believe the key was in the lock.
