The reality is that it takes very little, off the shelf, to engineer an attack.
I'll have to disagree with that. It takes a lot to engineer a successful attack - any alert police force ought to be capable of stopping such preparations (witness the Metropolitan Police's success after they were caught off-guard on 7/7). It only takes intelligence and analysis - not snooping and violations.
