#3 OK, just as a thought experiment, let's say that MI5 has total tabs on all the remotely possible Jihadists. Then imagine than, next Tuesday, they all simultaneously decide to 'do' something.
How could you possibly stop them all? (Answer: you couldn't.)

#4 Here's what'll happen.

MI5 will keep tabs on these guys.

Then, one day, they will all drop out of sight.

A few days later, a slew of terror attacks will take place, perpetrated by these known wolves.

Then MI5 will say "Well, we couldn't stop them and we can't find 'em now, but we certainly know all about them! We've even got baby pictures! Wanna see?"

#5 Why is it so easy for these young Muslims to be "radicalised to the point of violence within weeks"?

Because they aren't taking their anti-depressants.

That is a concern. I may be a bit paranoid but such an event is conceivable. Suppose, these 3000 decided that on a certain day at a certain time to pull off a Fort Hood "workplace" accident or a Mumbai scenario across Britain or Canada or the U.S. The toll would be devastating. Hope our betters are considering such an possibility. They seem somewhat inept at responding to other emergencies.

#8 Maybe that's the plan. Never let a crisis go to waste!
