      Ok, didn’t know that abbreviation.

      It’s a good example why one should omit using three-letter-acronyms, even if knowing them oneself pretty well, as others might not.

      “ICE” already had three widespread meanings I knew about up to now (the US immigration guys, the German trains and “In-Circuit-Emulator” from my work environment).

      Now I learned that there is a fourth I didn’t know about, and who knows how many more…

      On a side note:
      I rechecked the article, and it mentions nowhere that the vans involved have been the ICE-variants of the Sprinters.
      Heading of the original article is also different, so I am wondering where the ICE in the heading of the post came from.
