Totally agree

Even if the security on the Underground was perfect the bombers would
switch to the Overground Trains or bus stops as in Israel. All thay
have to do is find a crowd and pull the pin.


Which is why the police should shoot first and worry about questions

later.

If only it were that simple. You don't know that anything's going to happen
until something does and then the perpetrator and all around him/her know
nothing.
This sort of attack robs the security forces of a target. Unless they have
advance intelligence of the outrage, they can't do anything. Advance
intelligence will only be available in a few isolated cases because the
nature of the threat is both diverse and the element perpetrating the
attacks is fragmented into many small groups, even only owing allegiance to
one of several different leaders (and new groups and leaders are popping up
all the time). They don't really even need explosive.
Like the original poster stated, we're in real trouble this time.
