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.

It does look like there is a serious threat right now. Arnold and Romney both activated guard units today to patrol airports, and that hasn't happened since 2001. Somehow this has to be connected to Iran.

Well said!
I wonder when the fanatical muslims hanging out in the mosques will be ejected from both Britain and the U.S.?
We have to stop fooling around with the pc cr@p.
The news media are all wondering whether this is al qaeda or not. How many weeks has it been since bl and zawahiri's messages? Velveeta do you know? This is their footprint for sure IMHO.

Makeup . . . Yuck.
Women wear it to compete with women for youth and beauty . . . many know men hate the feel of it--feels like butter, pig grease . . . . but they wear the blankety blank stuff anyway.

The message from Zawahiri that I think was the "go" signal was on July 27th. That's when he was seated in front of the picture of Mohammed Atta.

ABSOLUTELY!!! In other words, if you are of the feminine persuasion and you spot one of these ignorant jackasses (who cannot find their way to "Montana"), RUN--very fast, in the opposite direction!

I don't think there is a sentient soul that doesn't realize that the "mobile homes" were a knee jerk reaction to the wailing of mindless voters, who elected equally mindless and ineffectual public officials, unwilling to accept the responsibility for their own survival. (Not only did they initially elect these irresponsible officials, but they have re-elected them!!)

Why not just put it in the big bag you check? Why are they throwing away this stuff?
BTW, the "suspect" who worked at Heathrow had an all access pass to the entire airport.

I think the folks that had to throw things away were the travelers that showed up this morning that had already checked their bags
