Naturally. I mean, after completely failing to stop a mortar attack on Downing Street, truck bombs at Canary Wharf and Manchester city centre, and other assorted IEDs in Warrington, Omagh and elsewhere, all planted by a well known, well understood and well penetrated organisation like the IRA, it's perfectly reasonable for us to believe that MI5 is suddenly so competent it has no trouble spotting and stopping 'major incidents' planned by a previously unknown, largely ignored and virtually impenetrable bunch of Islamist nut cases.
Or, maybe the threat is being severely over-egged in order to provide a platform on which certain egomaiac Labour politicians can strut?
