So the plot was foiled *before* the new rules were put in place, meaning the rules aren't in fact needed to foil the plot in question? A *foiled* plot means the current rules are sufficient. A *successful* plot means we need to re-think our rules. But of course that's real-security thinking, not security-theatre thinking.
