The security services are always going to be in a lose/lose situation. They either act when it's a possibility and run the risk of disrupting services and upsetting travellers or they wait and wait and wait until something happens. Either way they lose.

So if it was a possibility that it was going to happen within the next three days surely that is enough to know that it was certainly going to happen and so needed action.
