I honestly don't think that BA telling us that they are cancelling flights because they have received specific intelligence that (for example) 'baggage handlers are trying to smuggle a bomb onto a London bound flight' is going to make me feel one tiny bit better about the cancellations. If anything, that level of detail is going to make me feel very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that BA have responded to an apparent threat. There really is nothing to be gained by making public the full details, and as has already been pointed out it may even give the alleged perpetrators a head start on the authorities.
