A major terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight has been disrupted by police, Scotland Yard says.
It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on board aircraft in hand luggage.
During the night, police arrested a number of people in London after a counter-terrorist operation they said had lasted several months.
Police believe the attacks would have been particularly targeted at flights from the UK to the US.
The Department for Transport said security at all UK airports has been increased.
Passengers on all flights will not be allowed to take any hand luggage on to any flights in the UK.
Only the barest essentials - including passports and wallets - will be allowed to be carried on board in transparent plastic bags.
I theorized on a thread a couple of weeks ago that if we had another Great Depression now, half of our citizens would rollover and die if their cell phones got shut off.

It's time for some serious profiling and the ACLU be damned.
I sure wish he would come back, if only for a short while. It's a shame people attacked Britain, which has done so much to help us. Signing onto FR doesn't require IQ tests, unfortunately.
Sounds like they're watching both ways...USA to London and Visa versa.
We should expect some arrests very soon. We're looking for "show" time.
If I remember right, the night before Atta and friends went to a Walmart and bought their box cutters. That might be the connection to Walmart this time...PATTERNS!!
Federal agents tried desperately before 9/11 to get Kerry/Kennedy to study their report that Logan had major security weaknesses (specifically pointing to transferring passengers). They only came to light after the fact.
If it is, just get the pancake version. (Mix with water at your destination.)
The funniest thing was that Greg Jarrett had just talked to Romeny and Romney didn't say anything to him about it, and Jarrett was dumfounded. LOL!
The DU nutjobs are crazy...I think it's going to be an interesting evolution over the next 20 to 30 years. They are one step/generation of wrapping the foreheads of their children with green towels and strapping bombs on their children and opening madrassas all along the East and West Coast...I don't think it will be long before they resort to violence...and make Clinton/Kerry their 12th Imam...
Thanks...
Sometimes it seems so long ago and sometimes it seems as if it happened this morning.
Estee Lauder makes a great one that lasts all day for me. It is a liquid matte, I believe. Aveda makes a great powder foundation that has excellent coverage and is long lasting. That way you can just pack it in your luggage! :)
Oh now that I would protest!
DId something happen to Mad Ivan?

What I haven't seen this time is the "Gyms" mentioned. Atta and gang were into "Knife fighting" at these places.
I would assume Boston has a large number of incoming overseas flights.
He left FR because of getting repeated attacks from anti-British nut cases.
I cannot stomach Jarrett
I don't like him, either. He seems particularly smarmy.
I heard him subbing for Laura a few days ago. It was as though someone was reading to me as I was driving to work - straight from Free Republic. He was on top of the issues and presented them like a true FReeper. Hmmm?
