http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778575.stm :( well, :) that they foiled it I suppose.
a worrying time for the UK.
I can't access the BBC news website, but I've been listening to the radio on the internet all day. Apparently nobody is being allowed to take any handluggage on board, just keys, travel documents and any medicines they need. Even handbags have to be checked, and the duty free shops are closed.
That's correct, no hand luggage is allowed except perhaps wallets, I thnk they prefer you to empty your wallet and take just the contents.
Everything you need to take on board must be taken in a clear plastic bag provided by the airport.
MI5 have stepped up security levels to 'critical'
They've just grounded Heathrow altogether.
Oh, that's evil :DOriginally Posted by vbloke
By the way, you missed a 'to' between plot and release
Nice one vbloke!

Ginger is not alone - it didn't for me either.

Y'know...all I can think about is Jean-charles de Menezes and those brothers in Forest Gate or wherever it was.
the police damn well better have got this one right. >:(
Yes, I just posted an allusion to the Forest Gate brothers on the JREF.
Somebody was suggesting that the fact that arrests have been made implied that the plot was real (and therefore not a government conspiracy, as is already being claimed by the usual supects among deranged conspiracy theorists). I feel it's too early to assume anything about this.
These unfortunate mistakes by the Police in the past show how important it is not to rush to judgement in circumstances such as these.
I think this is a totally different kind of scenario. And - it is certainly better to have been disruptive like this and wrong, than to try not to be disruptive until absolutely certain, but then have several flights turned into missiles. No?
I don't know. I think it would be better to have thorough security checks at all airports all the time anyway, some decent intelligence and contingency planning so that chaos is avoided!
Aren't we all security checked anyway? Why the need for this explosion (sorry) of activity and over-the-top security measures? Are they suggesting that what we have now isn't safe enough? Isn't that...er...kind of a problem?
