Yea, just came threw the wire..

Britain's security service MI5 raised the threat level to the country to "critical" from "severe," meaning an attack is expected imminently.

A chap from BBC said it was more a precaution.  In case the plot they foiles had a sub-plot which they don't know about but the blowing up of the planes wasn't expected to happen today.

I have someone flying in from Sweden today so I just hope it doesn't affect her.....

Yeah they've banned almost everything apart from dire essentials on hand luggage.  You won't even be able to take a newspaper on (presumably in case you read too much about the plot and panic).

I just checked with the airport.  Incoming flights seem to be okay.

I totally agree with precautions being taken (especially if it is true that there was prior knowledge of 11th September and nothing was done) but it does annoy me that even when terrorists fail (I hope they have), they can still cause so much disruption to our lives.....

I believe more times than not when they "fail" or have been disrupted we do not hear about it. If we do like we have just now it must have been big.

even failed attempts are good propaganda for them it spreads the fear about terrorism, and proves to us that terrorism is something that is never going to go away.

the disruption caused by this is going to be massive but better safe than sorry.

Now before this breaks down into intraforum personal attacks...




As this plot was aimed at the airline industry, I suggest you take a read of the thread at www.airliners.net.

You will find all the relevant details regarding the airline industry here -Plot to blow up aircraft

If it's into England, she will not be allowed any hand luggage what-so-ever. Also, NO LIQUIDS on the flight, as the plot was expected to be carried out using liquid explosives.


EDIT: Depending on airport and carrier, she might not fly. I hear BA has suspended most flights, and LHR is closed to traffic.


EDIT2: I found this information from the TSA. Aviation Thread Level.

Excellent response from the govt. Now is the WORST time to lower or maintain the old threat level - you KNOW there is a plot, but you aren't sure if you've completely scuttled it or not.

Exactly. I think they have arrested 21 of the 22 conspirators. This heightened security of in case there is a secondary plan.

I heard there had been 18 arrests overnight while I was having my breakfast, have they caught some more in the past couple of hours?

And haven't you heard, the attack was launched by American fundamentalist Christians making sure the UK would be involved in a crusade in the Middle East. Honest.

Oh? I just heard from the 7:30 report (at least I think it was) that over FIFTY people may have been involved.
