Baker said the main difference between U.S. and U.K. security isn’t necessarily what is done, but how it’s portrayed.
“We’re not necessarily as bold about describing things, and we have a few more hurdles,” Baker said. “But our goals are still the same: to control the perimeter, control the interior, make sure we understand the crowd and movement, do all surveillance ahead of time and make sure we collect evidence to identify the potential targets and lock them down.”
Former Assistant Director of the FBI Bill Gavin, of the Gavin Group, said President Obama’s inauguration is a perfect example. “We pretty much shut down Washington, D.C. We prohibit a lot of things.”
But the men agreed that the law enforcement community in the United States still need more authority to keep the country safe.
“There’s a number of different measures that should be implemented in the face of the reality that we now have. Our biggest threat is homegrown extremism,” Brosnan said. “How do you get control of that? It’s tough, very tough, and people have forgotten.”

There is no end to the amount of authority "needed" by police.....
Where does it all end? A police state?

Hopefully in hell. At least for those who dishonor their oaths.
They don't know how tough it's gonna be until they try to do it.
They can't control us, we're everywhere.
This fact is what bothers them to most.
They are helpless.
Much of the British security environment was put in place to deal with the threat from IRA personnel operating in Britain. Can you say "domestic terrorism", Boys and Girls? I knew you could!
So..... When will the British advisors start arriving in response to DHS Sec. Janet (From Another Planet) Napolitano's percieved threat from...... oh..... I don't know.... "Threepers" perhaps?
"But the men agreed that the law enforcement community in the United States still need more authority to keep the country safe."
Re-read that with the intent that the Elite are the only true portion that are "united states". The rest of us are already labeled (libeled) Terrorist's and are treated as such.
Hey that sounds great! Bring it mofo's!
CIII
IRA;
Largely confined to the Six Counties of Northern Ireland and the Border with the Republic (that makes them sound a lot more spread out than they were, most were within a few working class areas of the bigger towns).
At most about 200 were active at any one time, and with at least half of the population openly hostile to them.
Could the Brits keep a lid on them with one of the top five armies in the world?
could they F**k!
Oh, the "powers" were granted: They even tried mass internment. That was a disaster.
There is a big catch 22 with "powers" when there is the pretence of a "free" country, you can have one or the other, not both, and if you're not free, then, freedom is worth fighting for.
Our biggest threat is homegrown extremism
Silly bear, everyone knows the US feral government is the biggest threat to humans world-wide -- and that statement just proves it.
"Never fly"...how about 'never underestimate an American's willingness to drop trou at any place, at any time, for any puke with a badge, for any reason or for no reason at all'...We know the Giuliani types salivate at the prospect of a thoroughly whipped populace and we also know that we are just about there; except for the few.
