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 have it now, thanks --- good show tonight -- no peeking into graves... what's that called? Remote viewing?
That's NOT good news.
What do you mean "gone away"?
I heard on Coast to Coast, while in the car. We have idiots in this world who want to give these nutjobs nukes. The world has turned upside down.
Are there any Brits in England anymore? I though it was ALL Moslem at this point.
Possibly "disappeared" in the old Soviet sense.
It is just a nusance. Just ask Lurch.
Here is a radio link to the BBC .. but they aren't talking about it now

LOL! I see Elmo inherited Yasser Arafat's headgear.
I hear ya, sofaman. My sis is flying to UK on Saturday, too. Yes, this is a bit frightening, but I shall keep the faith, as always. :)
The day that our supposed leaders fess up that this country was actually founded on a JUDEO CHRISTIAN foundation (and our FREEDOM was to be guaranteed for those believing IN GOD THE ALMIGHTY), we can eliminate all this other crap. By allowing the freedom of this festering boil we actually threaten OUR FREEDOM.
When will America wake up?
Can someone explain to me why it is always transporation with these wackos when it comes to the UK and the US ? (9/11, shoe bomber, other foiled plots, etc.) Wouldn't an attack on a shopping mall or a club be far simpler and cause just as much terror?
Take a CD player and CD with you ( very innocent , right ? ). Ever crack a CD in half ? Turns into a 6 inch razor in a second. Some Moslem makes a false move on a plane ,show him what you can do with it .
Of course he does...the nutter.
Damn. My sister flew from the UK this morning (here for a six week visit, yea!).
What ARE they talking about? Mel Gibson?
I'm pretty blonde: by whom? By us? Why?
Did you hear the woman who just called in?? Said she may have some information of one of the 8 who are still missing. As well as where their money is coming from.
Thanks, Mo1, I'll save that link. Truly appreciate it.
