I wonder how they think this will prevent a determined suicide
bomber from detonating themselves?

Or maybe in their security scenario bombers always carry the
explosives in rucksacks in order to be easily identified.

If a uniformed presence discourage one islamist from killing one
person is that not worth the effort?

In Western Europe the chances that a terrorist attack will be Islamic
is small.
There have been numerous terrorist attacks in Ireland, for example, in
2010 that had nothing to do with any religion except Christianity -
and even then only in a tribal way.

And many of the Islamic plots seem to be put together by small groups of
minimally trained amateurs, who fail much more often than they succeed.
Even if they don't get caught first, they are much more likely to blow
themselves up than any innocent passers-by, or their bombs don't explode
properly.

Some seem pretty stupid in their target selection, too: the recently
arrested groups were apparently aiming for the US embassy in London,
possibly one of the best defended buildings they could have thought of.
Even if they wanted to hit a US target in London, I would have thought
they could have identified plenty of less protected examples.
