Terrorists Plot Foiled In The Uk

Post by MetDream »

Cheers to MI5 and the rest of the security services for foiling the terror plot...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778575.stm

This is crazy. I’m glad it was discovered. Can you imagine the devastation? It is said to have been bigger and worse than the 9/11 terrorist attack here in the US. Our country is still affected by it. This would have been such a tragedy.

So anyone affected by or stuck in the UK due to these flight disruptions?

Nevermind. If you are trying to get on a fligth anywhere in the world at this point, there is going to be huge delays. Liquids are now banded on all flights. No liquids or jells. No hygene products at all.

Fuck. This just freaks me out. When stuff like this happens, I get all doomsday, and think the HUGE war that is predicted in all of science fiction is upon us!!! Arggh. I'm such a girl.

Edit: Now they are reporting non confirmed reports that all cellphones, ipods, computers are banned from all flight. That means they cannot be taken past security.

I'm glad this was discovered and stopped.


Governments around the world cop a lot of grief about security measures, and extra legislation that have been brought in post 9/11, but it's moments like this you are thankful for them.

Imagine if this had happened....actually, I don't want to.

I am so happy to see that it was stopped, I remember when I went to Mexico about a month ago, how people were complainning about how much time it was taking to check people's baggages and stuff like that, and I dont think they realize how important it is. Kudos to the security guards who did their job and prevented a huge tragedy.

I'm flying tomorrow, so it's all cool. B)

There was an al-Queda tape released yesterday saying that flights between the US and England were under threat, so I guess they stepped on it pretty quick. If only people stopped giving these whackos a reason to try this shit on then we'd be fine.
