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 was at DU-right they don't take it seriously. Check this out, one of the bozo's has an upside flag on his blurb. I despise these treasonous bozos.

Thanks Ali. I just saw about the Qatar flight, some think its disinfo for something bigger, who knows.

At 9-11 my 7 yr old grandsons mother spent days glued to the TV, and I'm sure she had him watching......he asked me in a phone conversation..."Why do they want to kill us?" I hope he remembers forever the answer I came up with. "THEY are EVIL."

No, no - clearly this was a plot by Mel Gibson to deflect attention from his situation.

Or perhaps an Oliver Stone plot to boost his movie's take this opening weekend.......

[goodnesswins]

I looked at your page.....Congratulations!

[Just A Nobody]

Some of you know how close this story is to me...

Thanks for your input. GOOD to hear from you and will do what I can to help keep you informed.

Quote from security Israeli style on Neal Boortz show just now," you don't look for weapons you look for terrorists," at that point US officials got rid of the Israelis saying "that would be illegal, it would be profiling." that's what we are up against.

JD is one of the few who gets it *and* is willing to speak about it truthfully.

This liquid is made from the same materials that was used in the London bus attacks. It does not have nitrogen so it is difficult to detect by odor.

I have friends flying across the country 'stand-by' today, I don't think they are going to make every leg.

You really cut through all the BS of course (sarcasm). Now why didn't I think of that!

[nyconse]

Yes 'blithering idiot' about summs it up.

And New Jersey.

This sounds, well, I don't know how it sounds, but it seems like we just don't want to call the ball. This is the same kind of war we fought with Germany in the 40's. We are in a war with a death cult.

This isn't a war on terror, and never has been. This is a war against Islamofascism. This is probably a massive restatement of the obvious for this forum.

I live near Seattle, though, and the flips and twists and contortions that the ENTIRE local MSM has done to avoid the word 'terrorist' in describing this vile Haq that shot up the Jewish community center this month is on the verge of criminality.

No way we win WWII with this kind of media in the 40's. Lincoln wasn't above jailing editors. Time to do some of that.

So, as the threat increases, your advice is to split the union, wall everyone else out and form a militia state? I have to admit, I've never considered such an approach. Sounds a bit like a morph between Switzerland and North Korea.

We tend to use 'Asian' for anyone who looks like they come from the Indian sub-continent (e.g. Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi's, Sri Lankans).

I thought there was another term you used for them! ;)

[daybreakcoming]

Would you be thinking of Mugniyah/Hezbollah?

Thanks Cindy - that's who I was thinking of but my eyes/brain had gotten too bleary. So this was not the first plot to blow up airlines over an ocean.

[hoosiermama]

Had a a thought as this unfolded....So they were "home grown". Since we're not allowed to "target" American citizens does this mean a similar group would NOT be detected in the US? (Thank you Cindy!).....Scary thought isn't it!

Another thought (for what it's worth)......The Democrats supporting Lament sure do look stupid this morning!

Yes 'blithering idiot' about sums it up.
