Terrorist Attempt Stopped

This is from the London Times, so I'd take it with a grain of salt (unless you're flying to London). Like KLPDaisy said, I'd call the airport. In the meantime, read this:

Thanks for the help with the heightened security info!

I fly out to NY tomorrow. I will severly miss my handcream and toothpaste. I better check the Air Canada website and see what their restrictions are.

In related? news, they stopped two middle eastern men in Ohio were pulled over on a routine traffic stop. In the car, there was found to be $11,000 cash, a glut of disposable cell phones, airline passenger lists, and analyses of airport security checkpoints.

In other related? news, 3 Egyptian students were picked up after disappearing subsequent to their entry to the U.S. on student visas and failing to report to school. 8 remain at large. There is no terror link thought to exist at this time.

Yeah, those two punks are from Dearborn Michigan . The fifth anniversary of you know what is coming up in a month so every ambitious creep in the world is probably going to try something.

Aww hunny. Don't be. They've stepped up security hardcore. If anything, he'll be safer today.

I am planning to fly to London this weekend. As is my usual practice, I will have a ham sandwich in my briefcase, or if no food is allowed I will have some pigskin driving gloves with me. If one of those moral cowards makes a move to take out the plane my plan is to simply belt him with my ham annointed knuckles or my driving gloves and tell him 'go on and do your thing shit head, you are now defiled'. A Muslim chaplain from my active Army days told me that the strict interpretation was if a Muslim so much as touches pork he is defiled and cannot enter paradise untill purefied, even if a martyr. This is not held by all Muslims but fundamentalists do seem to accept this concept, I am told.
I have no patience with those who seek to do horrible things in the name of God and try to justify their actions as "God's will". I don't care if the shit head in question is Muslim, Jew, or Christian, the last time I looked the COMMANDMENT "Thou shalt not do murder" applies to us all. The sort of murderous cowardice these terrorists practice is a lie before God and I suspect He would be royally furious at such blasphemy.
As a side thought, the American people tend to be slow to anger and will forgive a lot, but once that anger is aroused...

A friend flew Denver/Orange County this morning and says the Denver security lines took forever.

To many people who are stupid and beleive that We are still the usgly American along with any non Musilum Arab State.

Fighter Jets keep taking off from Dobbins in Atlanta. A lot more than usual. They must really be worried something is going to happen

[valkyrie]

So, um, I am by no means an expert on explosives, but from what I heard on the news this morning, my understanding is that people might bring, say, two different liquids onto a plane and the shit happens when they get mixed together. So, um, WTF:



Is it really a good idea to, you know, just be mixing all this shit together, just in case there's something bad in there?

They were taking off all last night too starting at 10pm. I think they may have known ahead of time that something was going on.
