Why did they wait so long to arrest Guy Fawkes?
Although the attempt had been discovered 8 says earlier, the search was only conducted right before the Opening of Parliament. The reason: a search on an earlier date might come up empty-handed if the conspirators had by then not yet started to transport the gunpowder to the Parliament cellars. And if the searchers had gone again and there were still a few days left, they might yet have the chance to place explosives there. Thirdly, conducting a search right before the Opening might result in finding not only explosives, but also one or more of the conspirators who were to light them - as indeed proved to be the case. It is one of history's little ironies that the gunpowder if lighted would not have exploded. The black gunpowder of the time was a mix of ingredients that remained only explosive as long as the mix remained intact. But if stored for a long time, the gunpowder's ingredients tended to 'separate' again, making the gunpowder useless. It later was found that the conspirator's gunpowder mostly had disintegrated in this fashion.
