Well as Ramrod correctly said a lot the time the security services collect evidence which is inadmissable in court or jeopardises ongoing investigations, but i'd still rather let these people go about their own free will. See who they are meeting etc. That's how you gather intelligence, not by isolating, but by encouraging it. Unless MI-5 is so overwelmed atm to do that, which it probably is. I don't think house arrests will solve much anyway. If Mohammed Atta was house arrested, there are probably a million more a***holes who would gladly take his spot.
