Something has happened for them to lower the threat level.. Wonder if there have been more arrests.

I'm digging for a Star-Tribune editorial that ran on Friday. I wish I had posted it when I first heard about it.

Basically, the writer was praising the Brits and their great police work in outing this threat. Trashed us for the war in Iraq and saying that this was a police matter. We've all heard that line before.

If WE had stopped this threat, using the methods that the Brits employed....the Strib would have been the FIRST to decry our methods.

I gotta find that....

The airlines were complaining that too many flights were getting cancelled.

I agree. They should get a fleet of helicopters and disappear the problems somewhere in the middle of the Channel, far enough so that the problems have no chance of swimming to shore.

Nah. Probably some woman's husband checking to see if she was in flight before heading to the airport.

Could be... and all the more reason not to own up to phone ownership and be charged for all that fuel and expenses.
