Oh wait... there were cameras everywhere. So what the fuck happened? About all they can do now is figure out who did it. That, and monitor the rest of the populace every single moment of every single day. Maybe a few more pat-downs. Nevermind that the bombs weighed less than ten lbs and weren't suicide bombs, but timing devices. They were simply left on the tube. Or maybe the tracks? They can't watch everything. Or can they?

No matter how tragic the events overseas, nothing will match the attendant clamp-down the entire world will soon feel. Witness:

Clarke set to rush through emergency arrest powers

Extra security after London bombs

Meanwhile, back in the U.S: "cursory visual inspections"
