Don't know if I agree with the underlying premise of post #1.

It seems to me that in debriefing Moussaui and/or others, it was determined that the 9/11 attacks may have originally been scheduled for the week before.

The London attacks were different, in that they didn't involve suicide bombers, nor, apparently, much risk to the perps. So timing was more precise. As CC says, the G8 was probably the focal point.

London is full of monitoring cameras, so the possibility of identifying and catching these scumbags is probably pretty good.

Many US transit systems had more visible security presence yesterday, but I find it troubling that we're still only clearing about 3% of all containders entering our ports... that still seems to me to be the US' biggest vulnerability.
