They are finally realising that taking away all our rights and freedoms (many hard fought for over the last 1000 years) WILL NOT make anyone any safer (even if we were at threat in the beginning - which is doubted).
What WILL make us unsafe, is continual attacks on other countries ! (Those currently reviewing the Israeli / USA plans to attack Iran please note !!!)
As the Israelis and Yanks got their heads together on Tuesday I expect a further "announcement" within a few days.
