It is yes, and I don't really blame the authorities because if they miss something and anything happens can you imagine the outcry? Everyone would be asking why they didn't take it more seriously, how they could have got it so wrong etc. etc. etc.
As I pointed out with respect to the Tottenham Court Road hostage taker a couple of days ago, they now err very much on the side of caution and consequently, it doesn't take very much to bring London to a halt and generate massive news coverage.
