No doubt that's true. For example the UK has arrested and detained about 500 people so far suspected of terrorist activities. I don't have any insight into the UK's national security laws or what they do with those detainees.

But it's very difficult to swallow everything the US DHS has been serving up as credible responsible information that has any bearing on anything. It's unwieldy and not all that useful. "More threats but still Orange." "Unconfirmed but reliable information." Let's face it any idiot could imagine that attacking NYC again in September would be something these terrorists have thought about; it's not a stretch. It's also not a stretch to guess that after these years the biggest targets are the softest: commercial real estate. But I have spent some considerable time down on Wall St. since 9-11 and there is a lot of stagecraft going on. The level of protection there is absurdly high and is meant to put a mean face on the body of counterterrorism. It's pretty dull to think that these smart well funded patient motivated reasonably well organized terrorists haven't torn that page out of their playbook already.
