Good thing the New York Times didn't find out about the investigation.

Plaque I saw in a flea market:

"If I'd known how much fun my grandchildren
would be, I would have had them first."

I must say, I believe Rudy's electoral prospects may have just gone up significantly.

The drumbeat for Rudy is music to the Dems ears.

If this was part of a bigger operation it sounds like something out of a "24" episode.

Yes...I am very lucky. Many of my friends' grandchildren are half-way across the country, or even overseas. I am blessed to have them here.

My family and I just flew back from the UK four days ago. Unfortunately, it seems that we are going to have to have a major event actually happen, rather than just getting thwarted, before people will again awaken to the threat.

America is slumbering again, as is evidenced by the fact that the editor of the NYT is not already in court.

If there are other attacks planned then the other cells will be speeding things up before they're busted. Hope our people are working fast.

Note: The following text is a quote:

http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/threat-change.shtm

Threat Level Change for the Aviation Sector

The U.S. threat level is raised to Severe, or Red, for all commercial flights flying from the United Kingdom to the U.S.

The U.S. threat level is raised to High, or Orange for all commercial aviation operating in the U.S., including international flights. Flights from the U.S. to the U.K. are also Orange.

All travelers on commercial U.S. carriers and on all flights into the U.S., please be advised of the following changes to airport screening procedures:

NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED IN CARRY ON BAGGAGE. ITEMS MUST BE IN CHECKED BAGGAGE. This includes all beverages, shampoo, sun tan lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency.
Exception: Baby formula and medicines must be presented for inspection at the checkpoint.

Beverages purchased in the boarding area (beyond the checkpoint) must be consumed before boarding because they will not be permitted on board the aircraft.

Passengers traveling from the U.K. to the U.S. will be subject to a more extensive screening process.

These measures will be constantly evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant.

How every passenger can assist in security:

Pack lightly, without clutter to facilitate easier screening
Arrive at least two hours early at the airport
Cooperate with TSA personnel at checkpoints and at all gate
Be attentive and vigilant to any suspicious activity and report it to authorities
TSA Contact Center Phone 866-289-9673 or E-mail tsa-contactcenter@dhs.gov
