As of this moment, no liquids allowed on US flights. No drinks!

[nopardons]

It's for REAL!

Good luck with your trip. NO DRINKS will be allowed to be taken on AMERICAN flights.

[onyx]

ALL BEVERAGES and liquids (hair gels etc.) banned from American flights too.

[Mo1]

HLS is going to get nailed upside their heads regarding that message they just released

[conservative in nyc]

Prescribed medicines essential for the duration of the flight, except in liquid form unless verified as authentic.

That's hard core.

And it's not workable. There's no way any sane person would check in any prescription medication needed for the duration of your trip. The risk of the airline losing your luggage is far, far too high to risk losing essential medication.

[The Red Zone]

Normally one is admonished severely NOT to check prescription medicine. People will doubtless lose vital medications they need not during flight but immediately afterwards, this way.

[onyx]

Right, NO carry on's No liquids, (hair gels, shampoo, etc).

[Pukin Dog]

Aren't these Sky News folks great?

Fox should run them in the evening instead of replays of Hannity.

We just CANNOT let those people EVER have control of this country again.

[sofaman]

My wife and kids are sure going to have some stories to tell when they get back..

[Howlin]

But that's a different story.............LOL.

Can't wait for the spin CAIR is going to put on this.

[A CA Guy]

True, but the triggers could be traveling with the bags and can be set to explode at the will of the suicide passenger.

I think blowing up over the ocean is the last choice.

IMO the intent was to at first blow up as they get over land in the United States and the last of the 20 or so getting off the ground might have been exploded over land in Brittan.

[Pebcak]

What does this mean? Do they think they have embedded them in the beverage carts?

[Mo1]

That's a great idea

[bnev]

can anybody tell me of a liquid explosive that could be contained in a baby bottle that might be able to blow up an airliner? Short of liquefied gasses such as hydrogen, propane, NG, etc... I can't think of anything. By the way, none of these can be contained in baby bottles, hand lotion containers, or contact solution bottles--all currently banned on flights to the US.

[VirginiaMom]

your family has had one HELL of a month sofaman!

[defenderSD]

This must be the IRA ramping up their activity to a new level; yeah that's it...a bunch of crazed drunken Irish people......./sarc off

[Pukin Dog]

Are you referring to the group known as "Home-Lax-Sloppy"?
