Perhaps they got information which truly indicated these suspects were about to start the "testing" phase, and going on airlines in the next few days/weeks.

If they did not yet have the full scope of evidence against them, to know how many crimes and which specific charges to file, but could not afford to wait any longer before arresting these men, then they had not choice, did they?

Because they're able to hold the men 30 days because of their terrorist activities, it was clearly the more logical thing to do, if they thought the men had gone just about as far as they could go prior to commencing their plan, and the police couldn't wait any longer before moving in.
