It's not a bad thing, I mean better safe than sorry. May be an inconvienance, but I'd take that over losing my life.
Its great measures. I agree, but i won't want to check in my laptop, you know what i mean. The luggage crew dun particularly handle with care most luggages.... my baby laptop ain't gonna survive those bumps and hardcore chucking!! Do u think i can bring the laptop into cabin with the clear plastic bag??
Police have foiled a plot to smuggle explosives in hand luggages, which would have detonated while the plane was in flight.
LOL! Next line of BS yet to come - Computer equipment containing a wealth of intelligence was seized. What it really was - Someone searched on the internet for red mercury
"mass murder on an unimaginable scale" Nice way to be over dramatic! I think it was quite imaginable - so imaginable it was planned for months and nearly carried out!
Thank you Tony Blair for making our lives a hell. Because of your policies, we have to constantly live in fear here in London. Its OK for you to go and enjoy a nice holiday in the Carribean while the rest of us live in fear. Its time for you to go.
I wouldn't kick Blair out for that, that's letting the (real or imagined) terrorists win. I'd get rid of him for his apalling record on law and order, health and education. Also the insane 'human rights' laws that seemingly only apply to criminals rather then their victims. At least Mrs Blair QC is on to a winner with all the human rights cases she gets to work on. On another matter entirely, what was Tony thinking?
So whats going to happen when terrorists realise a way to weave explosive material into fabric and wear it in their shirts and slacks? Fly naked!? Hmm think its time I hit up the gym
This is always worth a read in harrowing times such as these What to do in the event of a terrorist attack
Looks like there is some big money to be made in the Travel Industry: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4778747.stm
And if you like a conspiracy theory, look at the chart of the AMEX Airline Index since 18.30 london time yesterday. Did someone have prior knowledge of today's terror unit/police action?
Ask yo-yo, he has the answer sure, "Tony knew it before, this why he went on holiday" (unfortunately it didn't this time for him).
Im not an expert at airline shares either but I imagine Ryanairs announcement about major expansion, etc might have had an influence.
I've had enough of this, I'm supposed to be flying in 2 days and we just got told we cant take hand lugage
By girlfriends brother is flying to Miami on Saturday, he's screwed as he's hindu, he's already emailed me ranting about the body cavity search he has to look forward to
