'Plot to blow up planes' disrupted

Kudos to the security folks at Heathrow. The news on TV is now saying that the Brits are not sure if they caught them all. I sure hope they have. Our (U.S.) dept. of Homeland Security has banned any liquids in carry on bags and that they've known about this plot for a long time and that there is no known connection to anyone in the U.S.. They also think these planned bombings were intended to coincide with the anniversary of the Sep. 11th attacks in NYC. It sounds like there is all kinds of confusion in airports as people try to stuff their carry-ons into their checked baggage. It is being assumed that these liquid chemicals would have to be hand activated (an odd assumtion).
I just heard that laptops and cell (mobile) phones have also been banned. It sure sounds like they suspect that there may be more of these idiots out there.

We're too complacent in the west as a whole. I am glad there are others out there with a healthy dose of paranoia keeping us safer.
 
Too bad all the slip-and-fall lawyers are protecting the so-called rights of these wonderful folks to the point that they can't be made to tell where and who all the other conspiritors are. I blame the bleeding hearts around the World who are more interested in criminals than victims as much as I do the terrorists themselves. Remember, if you stick your head in the sand, your butt is always exposed.

It shows us that we need to keep our eye on the ball. We are still at war with terrorism and this is a stark reminder.
 
Remember, they only disrupted the plot. They can't be sure they've stopped it.

But well done over in the Old Dart. Some damn good intel there.
One positive from this is that it is a wake up call for all those complacent people who think the war on terror is pointless.
