Trash cans in stations ARE a security risk. In the UK we used to have IRA bombs planted in them in busy stations especially by the exits where there would be dozens of people. Now if there are any they are clear so that you can see the contents. It was a surprise to me when I moved to the US to see trash cans in station locations with heavy foot traffic.
