None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time.
Similar analysis has been filtering in from other sources. My own guess would be that if it weren't an election year in the US this story would already have thinned to near invisibility, much like that of the kids in Florida who planned to blow up Sears Tower (you forgot that one already, didn't you?) and more others than I can, well, remember myself.
This is the time honored “cracking down on prostitution” gambit advanced on the eve of municipal elections writ large. And not, I suspect, much more.
