Honestly, anyone who knows anything about Londoners culture should have known the operation was doomed to failure, anyway. The whole point of terror bombing is to send a message, and everyone knows you don't strike up conversations with strangers on the Tube. It's just not done.
This is why New Yorkers (like Giuliani) are so upset. We schmooze everywhere: on the street, in the supermarket, on the subway (for the record, I do it on the London Underground as well).
