Together with the Government/Security Services. They have apparently 'surprised' the suspects in advance of any scheduled event, so the probability of any incident occuring TODAY is zero (IMHO). However, I wouldn't deny that a raised security level could dissuade terrorists from acting (they'll turn around and go home), but the 'response' is as crippling as would an event have been.
