Likely a couple of things to do with the internet.
Firstly it might be they've noticed a lot more idiots and/or wannabe terrorists finding "make your own RDX" recipes and probably at least one YouTube video on the internet more recently.
Secondly, whichever MP was CC'd on the memo by the security services telling them of the utmost importance of cracking down on these chemicals because of an influx of dangerous information on the internet, finally worked out how to switch their computer on and how to access their email account.

You reckon? Somehow I feel they might have received the memo by carrier pigeon and responded, writing with a quill and inkpot, with a "what is this internet you speak of?".
