No doubt it will be annoying... but if that one terrorist is stopped.... its done its job

No it just means that the terrorists have succeeded in causing disruption, which is after all, their aim. they have interfered with people's freedom thanks to governments knee jerk reaction and them feeling that they need to look like they are doing something about it.

That might apply when there is only 1 group of terrorists - but here in the UK we have had some 40 years of terrorism from many different groups - hardly a knee jerk reaction from our government

Doesn't matter how many groups there are. The aim of the terrorist is to disrupt and cause restriction to freedom of action to force people to take notice of them. They have at least partially succeeded

I have not noticed any difference in my day to day life in the UK. I worked in central London when the IRA was doing their worst and we just carried on as normal - in fact if anything it pulled the country together.
There are some stupid bits - like going though the airports. I queued for over an hour coming in to JFK last time I went to the US

Pure mythology and rumour. Honestly this wouldn't happen more than once or twice a week. I'm telling you, this place is SAFE.

I think once or twice a week is still too high for me to be able to handle it. *shudders* But I would love to visit Australia! Maybe one day... ::)
