Re: UK Threat Level raised to SEVERE
Without derailing the thread going off on who is behind it - UK has declared the threat level UP, one down from CRITICAL.
They appear to be saying, this is from the Syrian/Iraqi/ISIL (IS) issue, and terrorists present IN UK. They cite 500 Brits who are part of those terrorists. US is saying they feel about a dozen in the US are direct "terrorists" that they have their eye on.
I would assume they are paying attention looking to see who are terrorist supporters or pushing for the ISIL agenda..
Doesn't sound that complicated. UK is concerned. And the US appears to NOT be.. Why is that?
UK security camera example:
US security camera example:
Image recognition software:

(including behavioural recognition for patterns of activity)

They are looking at patterns of activity, i.e. internet traffic, emails, dialogs, phone chatter..
Same as for the hunt for OBL..
They wouldn't be doing that if they didn't think the threats were real.
