If they foiled it, how come they are at critical level?

There IS no Terrorist threat...noted experts Michael Moore and George Galloway both said so. [/sarc]

Only the barest essentials - including passports and wallets - will be allowed to be carried on board in transparent plastic bags.

Hope they'll at least allow you to bring a book to read. It is a long flight across the Atlantic.

>>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.<<

I wonder if they will stop allowing carry ons?

No hand luggage for you, Sid.

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.

Coming soon to the U.S.

I'm going to HATE my job when this happens. Two hours in the air with NOTHING to do but read "Sky Mall". Lord help me.

I heard a couple of days ago (I think on Fox News) that an American Airlines jet that had left Heathrow Airport turned around and landed back at Heathrow. I believe someone who had a name on the global "terrorist watch" list was removed...

At least the Brits have the balls to raise the threat level. Here we would have to wait until after an attack before it was raised to red.

God be with MI5 tonight. And tomorrow.

The linked article doesn't say what we all know. These are Islamic terrorists.
