I flew out of Gatwick this morning and saw no unusual security. There were tanks lining the roads at Heathrow though.

If you were a terrorist, and heard on the radio that Heathrow security was raised, wouldn't you take your Stingers and drive over to Gatwick or Stanstedt?

What happened to the hard willed Brits that endured Hitler's bombing campaign with an iron jaw?

I flew in and out of Gatwick many a' times. Especially pre 9.11. I never felt safe in Britian. One time I had a five hour layover sitting among a group of, at least, 50 Orthodox Jews. Another time they had a bomb scare that kept us outside the building for 90 minutes and they kept moving us further and further away from the buildings. All the employees were freaked out, which naturally freaked me out. Another time, I has a group of missionaries straight from Uganda on my flight, when the Ebola scare was going on. Some guy had a fever and was sweating profusely and they had to get on the loud speaker and ask if there was a Dr. on the plane. I was convinced I was going to get Ebola.

I spend waaay too much time on this board and am waaay too paranoid for that type of travel.
