Since explosives can be made from a wide variety of everyday substances how do you propose to enforce that ?

I believe perfume was one of the ingredients in the London bombings , so how can you stop people buying perfume ?

a special police intelligence force against terrorism.
These are already in existance on national and international levels . Though as the German based terrorists who were able to walk free from court do show , there is a lack of co-ordination and sharing of information at many levels (even internally) .

. Monitoring of the crucial parts like purchases, would do a lot.
How ? they can already access details of your purchases if you use credit/debit facilities , what do they do if you use cash ?

Terrorism requires a lot of planning and organizing, which require unusual activities.
Terrorism requires one person with a grudge and a little spare time on their hands . It becomes a major problem when you have lots of people who have a grudge , if a lot of those people have the same grudge then it becomes a real major problem .
There are some crucial ingredients to create efficient bombs, which mostly already are controlled. If the current special police doesn't work, then we have to get it working and not just cross our arms and say it doesn't work. And terrorism is more than one person with a grudge. The step from having a grudge and become a suicide bomber is rather large.....
