U.S. Rep. James Langevin and U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, both Democrats, also urged continued vigilance. Langevin, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement, "We stand ready to offer any assistance necessary to our British friends. This morning's developments serve as a reminder of the continuing threat of terrorism faced not only in this country, but around the world. Thanks to the swift and professional work of American and British authorities we have undoubtedly saved thousands of lives. "I will continue to monitor this situation and have been in contact with authorities at T.F. Green. In the meantime, I urge all Rhode Islanders, especially those traveling, to remain ever vigilant," Langevin said. Kennedy said the "expertise and swift work" of the intelligence and military in both countries "prevented what could have resulted in the horrific loss of lives. "I once again urge this [Bush] administration to implement the full recommendations of the non-partisan 9/11 commission to make our country as safe as possible during these ever changing times," Kennedy said, also in a statement. "We need to strengthen our military capabilities and intelligence to intervene in these evil acts while developing and installing explosive detection technologies that can detect lethal materials like those involved in this latest plot."

Dear Patches,
The installtion of explosive detection technologies, recommended by the "non-partisan 9/11 commission" would not have detected these explosives. (What would be a lot more effective in protecting American lives would be to have a breathalyzer attached to your steering column.)
What prevented this attack was the "spying" by the British goverment on its own citizens. The same type of spying that your political party is so vehemently against.
Get a clue, Patches.
