Hmmm. Maybe? I'd like to think it required more than just their proximity to a scene to justify wheeling out blokes with guns tbh. But I may be disappointed.

Really? I don't like that at all. Between the lack of definition of what constitutes a 'terrorist', the fact that they only need suspect you of it, and UK police's 'surreal 'non-lethal head shot' policy, I for one don't want to be seeing armed police on our streets as bau.
