Looking at you.
The Brits have a device that keeps bombs from going off?
Hypothetically speaking, could the reason for the bombs not going off today, be a top secret device that prevents some explosives from igniting.

That's just conspiracy littered crap. Did you ever think of the possibility that they were duds?

Piece of advice- always go for the simplest solution first, before complication.
So if a bomb doesn't go off, it is because it is broken. IF you can prove it was not broken then you have grounds to look for another answer.

i find this much more believable than some mystical top secret device.
common sense: all the bombs were rigged by the same idiot, thus he made the same mistake with all of them.

i would prefer a good hanging for him.
but i doubt it was al qaeda. if it was then all or most of the bombs would have detinated and this would have been a disaster.

I agree with that as well. There's the possibility of it being an amatuer copy cat trying to stir the pot of this conflict.

I'm a Londoner and I don't want anyone executed.
Its a flawed system, if you get it wrong you can never put it right.

No one died. It would be a shame if someone did afterward.

You know... doesn't matter if the bombs went off are not. Fact of the matter is, the bombs were in place to potentially cause significant damage. That seems to be indicative of a bigger problem... the fact that security (or lack thereof) allowed a potential repeat to happen so close to the last one. THAT'S what I find disturbing.

Indeed, Primitive Screwhead. It's indicative of a bigger problem. Anyone remember when those bombs were lost in the airport in France a while back? Dummy bombs placed as part of a test. Now there was a good one....

I think you are correct, but what do we do? I cynically wonder if the government wants it to happen. The only time you get any clues is when a bomb goes off, or not in this case, and the public fear can help politically.

How do you know that?
I have heard that too, but it make no sense. There was too many different governments saying the same thing.
Conspiracy theories are almost alway the manipulation of an unseen power. Who would gain if people believed such a thing?

Well alot of evidence seems to indicate (by the many insider books put out anyway) that one way of another Bush wanted to go into Iraq from day one. I think it mainly came to light when he added Iraq to the War on Terror despite there being no links to Al Qaeda to begin with, all that faulty intelligence and so forth...

First of all, I don't know anything, but things don't add up.
1. You maybe right, Bush could have been wanted to go into Iraq. However, the Russians had a lot to loose and did, and they said that Iraq had WMDs. This don't fit your theory.
2. That large convoy of trucks that left Iraq just before the war and went into Syria. What was up with that?
3. There are a lot of angry Dims in the US (BTW I am a Dim, but I'm not controlled by anger) and I wonder is their someone using this anger to their political advantage. It's just a feeling on the back of my neck.
Like I said I don't know, and I have better things to think about.

its funny because its true...although not in the context you are meaning
sometimes terrorist use mobile phones to set off bombs...in these instances the police and anti terror units deploy signal jammers that give a blanket coverage to all mobiles in a small area
so technically they do have devices to stop bombs going off...
