Re all the poll talk from earlier, I just read an interesting piece in the London Times about how the Brits are moving solidly in favor of far harsher and more invasive anti-terror laws — a la the Patriot Act — including random searches of possible terrorists on the streets. The most interesting detail of the poll is that while the results are overwhelming across the board (nearly 9 out of 10 Brits support new police powers), enthusiasm for such laws increase dramatically as you move further away from where the bombs went off.

Obviously some of this can be accounted for by the fact that British-Muslims live disproportionately in London. But I think the whole urban liberalism dynamic has to be play a part as well.

Oh, by the way, still having a lovely time.
