Major Terror plot foiled in the United Kingdom, reportedly against U.S. bound flights - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Threat level there raised to critical which is very serious.

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.

WHOA. At least TWENTY aircraft were targets! Bigger than the 9/11 plot... this is huge.

Critical Terror alert means attack is imminent!

Cheers to those in the U.K. for preventing a potential huge terrorist attack. But remember, according to Mickey Moore, terrorism "is not a threat to the U.S." (or the U.K., I guess).

Well, hopefully this was the fullest extent of the plot, and has been foiled. And with security everywhere now presumably going to be on major alert, any other plots should hopefully be thwarted as well.

People like Mickey Moore are perfect examples why we can't let liberals be in charge of national security.

Come on Fleet! You know 9/11 was an inside job. This has to be part of the big Bush conspiracy. It's all a set-up just to make Bush and the right look good.

What these airlines have to do is to check every person boarding every flight. No matter how much people complain. Just radomly checking is getting no where. And to think Ms. Monquie was making a big deal over being escorted off the plane because they wouldn't let her board on flight with a hair dryer,(something to that effect) please

(sighs) Here we go again, blame Bush for everything. That's why the liberals complain about Bush, he don't take any nonsence from anyone. Unlike Clinton who just about let the liberals do as they pleased.

They were saying Pakistan helped nab them so what is with them? Sometimes they seem like they don't like us and then other times they help us.

Thank goodness. Vigilance pays off. Everytime they nab people like this, it makes my day!
