I am not making your case for you. It's not my fault if you take BITS of what I say and tie them all together out of context now is it.
These are not backed up by fact, because I havn't followed the news since the first day when there was very little known. These are just examples of possible explanations.
The police have been watching them for a few months now (Some news program said since last December) it is quite possible that the police could have informed the airport with enough time for them to enforce their plans in case of such incidents.
When I say "copycat" you're not a stupid man and know exactly what I mean, whether you want to be pedantic about the wording of it or not. Copycat refers to copying the *planned* attack. If they just arrested the people they believe to be involved, and didn't try to stop anything further happening, what happens if they actualy didn't catch everyone? Should we take the risk of hundreds of people dieing so that some people are not inconvenienced on a flight?
It dosn't NEED to have happened before for them to plan against it. You don't sit and wait for it to happen before you produce a plan to combat it. People who plan against this sort of thing arn't stupid, they're quite good at risk analysis. It's not some strange concept to have liquid explosives, they planned ahead, and they've greatly reduced the possibility of anything going ahead if indeed it was going to.
So what if it isn't 100% sure that something would go ahead in that day, or the day after? If theres ANY chance at all then i'd rather be safe than sorry.
