Armed SAS troops have reportedly been deployed to key positions in busy streets across the UK, with hopes that the tactic will have soldiers poised for any unfolding terror attacks.

One source told The Mirror: "The view is there are so many homeless people out there undercover operators will remain safe and anonymous.

[...] Another source claimed to the paper that the operation had been ongoing for "some time", with soldiers stationed around transport hubs and shopping centres.

Soldiers from the Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing have reportedly been drafted for the operation.

    Sounds like they'd be better off abandoning the idea now, since everybody knows about it. Then act like they're not using reverse psychology, the undercover guys are just *really good.*

    I have a hard time imagining that the actual homeless people wouldn't immediately figure out who they were and not want to hang around with them, either.
