Half a dozen blokes, carrying rucks full of explosives and large ball-barings in a very open public place is a more realistic threat.What are the security services supposed to do to stop that sort of attack. It cant be done, unless someone makes a mistake then civilians will die. Its how I would plan an attack, but then again, I'm trained to think like that.

Actually, this is true. Hence the terrorist releasing Sarin into the air on the Tokyo underground.
But one thing we have to remember. Terrorists are often in it for publicity. This is why the IRA often warn the police (or a local authority) when they have placed a bomb in an area.
At the moment, the various actions of Dubya and Blair are giving them plenty of publicity..
