I wonder howcome, if they _caught_ these 24 conspirators, doesn't that
mean that what they already had in place worked?

The cops don't know whether those 24 are the whole gang. Ah, BBC TV has
just reported that five more people are being sought. Probably the
brains of the project.

There has also been a fear of 'copycat' expressed by the police here.

"Copycat" !! Are they serious, or just memory-challenged? Spend 1.5
secs Googling for Korean Air 858 and you will note that the events of
the past few days ARE the copycat.

So, why is it "suddenly" a "new" problem? I suspect hidden agendas,
the police see this as an ideal opportunity to get bigger budgets,
more staff, more tools and draconian powers and ego-boosting
regulations they could only dream of until the other day. And I'm sure
that Tony Blair will milk it for all it's worth to boost his sagging
fortunes.
