I don't believe for a moment their concerns are with LEOs at risk. They undoubtedly got a lot of negative flack for this whack job and that is what caused the reassessment.

They've been looking to do something for months now. Are we truly to believe they're going to put the kibosh to their plans out of fear a few LEOs will be hurt? No, I suspect there's been more than a little pressure put on them by politicians and monied-interests from both parties, and they've decided on a little more cautious approach.
