>They always ask for more surveillance funding/powers, yet they never have a good answer when it comes to what they do when they're granted such powers.

Their remit is to protect the state, not you. Occupy movements / class consciousness pose a real threat to the state and therefore is of far higher concern than some lunatics bombing some plebs doing a marathon.

If Warner's girlfriend had told them he was planning to use the bomb to take out a major node in their mass surveillance infrastructure one imagines they might have pursued the investigation a little further.
