The nature of the terrorist threat is dynamic. Law enforcement and the security agencies together with other partner agencies tasked with responding to terrorist related incidents need to be forever reflecting on what works and planning new strategies. Whether protection of iconic sites and crowded places or preparing for further attacks, the incidents in London and Glasgow during summer 2007 left no area of the United Kingdom unaffected.
