Yes, that's what I was thinking, but it hadn't occurred to me that there might be plots, whether or not very frequently, uncovered, on something of a regular basis. Not sure, though, because some would seem to be likely to get out, just as with terrorist plots as they are discovered (some of them serious, some of them not based on almost nothing at all.) It might not, of course, always be something that would be discovered before word of it was leaked to the public, according to whether a few or many conspirators were involved.
