Americans under the impression of security preparations for the upcoming Royal Wedding may be surprised to know that it would be hard to implement many of these precautions here in the u.s.

Former CIA agent Mike Baker told "there's a more mature acceptance in the United Kingdom of balance between civil liberties and security," FoxNews.com. "They went through homegrown terror problems with the IRA, and they were bombed in the second world war, and it developed an attitude that you do not find".

Baker said Americans should be more security "immediately after an incident if 11 september", but it's not too long before people start to complain "" with to take off their shoes at the airport.

British authorities are prepping for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton say that they will probably use random stop and searches, closely controlled closed-circuit camera spread across London and "preventive police," which means police can arrest someone for a terror charge--even planning or incitement to an act of terror--before all the evidence the related have, to maintain order and security. Pre-charge "" detentions can be based on a set of methods, including telephone taps, electronic surveillance and old-fashioned snooping espionage.

Even uploading photos to a new iPhone app is limited in the surroundings of the Hotel Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace on the wedding day.

Baker, founder of the global security firm for science, said that would be the biggest point of contention in the United States.

The application, which automatically uploading photos on the web and groups them according to where they were taken, has been labeled a "threat to the security" of London police, who use it near the marriage have banned. The police say they will follow to use the application on the wedding day and arrest anyone caught unauthorized upload images.

Baker said that would not fly in the US "you to tell them what they can and cannot do with their iPhone? That would drive people crazy. "

Former NYPD Detective Pat Brosnan said that enlargement of the powers of the stop-and-research would be much harder.

"The United Kingdom has the capacity and authority to enable as a light switch on and off like a light switch the stop and search powers of their police authorities," said Brosnan, now founder and President of the Group Brosnan, FoxNews.com. He said there are certain circumstances in the us where the police can planimetric view and access only to those who in searches. But even the police powers are limited.

"In Times Square you can pen everyone in on New year's Eve and search their pockets and maybe give them a quick patdown, but you might do a search body. That is still not permitted without probable cause. "

He said, also applies to "preventive police."

"They are an established threshold for an arrest the decline and aprons for the sole purpose of safety for an event. That would never fly here in a million years, "said Brosnan.

One thing that "fly" in the US is closed circuit TV, who Brosnan says is already in use by law enforcement in several American cities. But Baker says that it doesn't come close to the supervision in London.

"It's nothing like it in terms of coverage. I could get someone on the street in London and follow them pretty much wherever they go. It is a very impressive capability, and we are nowhere near that. "

The main difference between u.s. and U.K. Security is not necessarily what is done, but how it is played, Baker said.

"We don't necessarily fat about things to describe, and we have a few more obstacles," Baker said. "But our objectives are still the same: to check the perimeter, control of the Interior, make sure that we understand the crowd and movement, doing all the surveillance in advance and make sure we collect evidence for identifying the potential objectives and lock them."

Former Assistant Director of the FBI Bill Gavin, Gavin, the group said President Obama the inauguration is a perfect example. "We pretty much shut down Washington, D.C. We ban a lot of things."

But the men agree that the Community law enforcement in the United States still needs more authority to the country safe.

"There is a number of different measures that must be run in the face of the reality that we have now. Our biggest threat is homegrown extremism, "Brosnan said. "How to get control of that? It's difficult, very difficult, and people have forgotten. "
