Well, according to the article linked:
In contrast to previous reports, one senior British official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports.
Doesn't this put the case against some of the perpetrators into doubt? I hope they have additional evidence against them, but by acting before any tickets had even been purchased won't that mean that, at best, they will only be charged with much lesser crimes?

If people continue giving up their rights, then how much liberty is going to be left to protect?
I understand the intentions, but I also know what the road to Hell is paved with.
