"Plane Terror Plot Thwarted
Updated: 06:48, Thursday August 10, 2006"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police say they have disrupted a major plot to blow up planes in mid-flight with explosive devices smuggled aboard as hand luggage.
Sky News has been told the plan was to hit around a dozen planes over UK and US cities.
Police are said to have arrested 20 people in London - the culmination of a major covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months.
Passengers trying to board international flights from the UK are not being allowed to carry on hand luggage.
The Home Office's level of security - indicating public risk - has been raised from 'severe' to 'critical'.
Sky News' Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said he understood the threat was imminent and those arrested were mainly young, British-born Asian men.
He said the alleged plan involved people boarding flights and detonating explosives on planes over UK and US cities."
No one with small children should dare fly. No gameboys or toys? I would NOT do it. We're flying to Maui and not London but I'd cancel today if we couldn't take gameboys and toys. Not that I'd really want to hop on any plane out of a UK airport right now anyway.
