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.

the ironic thing is they "the DUmmies" are the ultimate thought police over there....instant banning if you have a thought they don't like
the few who post some fear or belief of the reports are immediately put down and the "popular" posts over there are the same mindless denial rants - which they would repeat even as they would be murdered by these Islamos with a bomb etc.

Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport has just warned passengers not to bring any liquids aboard the plane. This includes bottled water, cologne, contact lens solution, lotion and hair gel.
I don't know if this is happening at any other airport.

Heck, Mike, he already knows they are involved. He has already let them know the green glass is in the future. And he also knows,
THEY DON'T CARE.

i HOPE the first part is true. I'm certain the last part is true.

No he was not banned. The UK was constantly being insulted and he got tired of it. Go to his homepage, he explained it.
I miss Mad and hope he is lurking here.

They're like the idiots in the movie Independence Day who were standing on top of the buildings just before the aliens attacked. That is one of the best descriptions of the DUmmies I have heard!

Not for nothing....But if they're telling us everything as the "whole truth", security secrets mean nothing. What we get is what they want us to get....and that's the way it should be!!

And a good many to a wall with blind folds for appropriate responses to their murderous treasonous allegiances, sukpportiveness and plans.

"Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport has just warned passengers not to bring any liquids aboard the plane." On all flights or on international flights?

MadIvan wasn't banned, he left for reasons described on his FR Home page.
I hope he comes back someday. Most Freepers enjoy his point of view.

Maybe I'm just being dense (I haven't been to bed yet!) but what is the significance of 8/22? Somebody? Anybody?

Understand. Up with nose.
We MUST walk close to God and keep in mind that HE REALLY IS GOD AND ALWAYS WILL BE GOD AND ALWAYS WILL HAVE IT ALL ULTIMATELY IN HIS HANDS.
If we live, we live for and in Him. If we die, we live more fully and more closely with Him.
But while we live, let us live productively, redemptively and patriotically.
And may all the evil doers find their place speedily in hell.
