Déjà vu.
When, as often in the past, nothing happens, the media, television, press and of course the spooks who create this kind of scaremongering scenario, can loudly announce "another stunning success for our security services". The fact is that governments desperately need to have this threat/fear level at the highest possible point, in order to maintain and justify all those other control measures which dominate peoples lives every day.
At some point there will no doubt be another "terrorist attack" which the security services will not have predicted and this will ensure that the "War or terror", with all its associated restrictions, surveillance and "threat warnings" will subsist. Winston Smith would certainly recognise the societies of today's western world.
