A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said. It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled in hand luggage on to as many as 10 aircraft.

The "plot" was that they would carry liquids aboard, mix them in flight, then detonate them.

Joe Lieberman, where are you when we need you???

I'm very suspicious about this whole "gel bomber" affair. Apparently nothing was set to happen today (i.e., they didn't catch anyone trying to get on a plane with bombs, etc). So why the big side show? Why TODAY? Why stopping all the air traffic the way they have? Maybe there was some kind of plot, but I think the real intent here is to cause panic among the masses to justify the Bush/Blair War on Terror. I'm just sick of this hysteria they're always trying to generate.

Why TODAY?

You ask why? Haven't you been following world affairs.......Sore Loserman loses on Tuesday, dickhead announces on wednesday that this is encouragement to the terrorists, and now on thursday.....VIOLA!

There they are--all 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, or so!

Damned...somebody screwed up big time--how come they were in the uk and not in the usa, or notably in connecticut! Now that is the question....

Hi dee - I guess I just lost track of what was going on - actually I've heard that the terror nonsense was generated by Blair's political problems in the UK - that's why it happened over there. The Lieberman thing probably played a part as well. Obviously there was no immediate threat (on that day) so they did obviously time it for a purpose. I just wish people wouldn't be taken in by this nonsense. Personally I don't know when I'm ever going to fly again - it's becoming far too inconvenient, and who the hell knows if you're gonna get blown up or shot with a missile. Not worth it.

I'm with you re flying............but have been that way for a loooonnnnnng time.

It's been a few years now since my quite elderly dad flew back to the midwest for family visits. I think 2000 was his last one back. And, of course, 911 would have finished it off--September was always when he went back.

Anyhow, it's a 3-1/2 hour trip to the airport from here. And to think they want passengers there 2 hours ahead--presumably to just sit around or stand around til flight time--really put a kibosh to it. Topping that, of course, was that, while I could drop him off in the unloading zone, he would have to stand there until I could circle around the damned parking area, to where you could short term park, and then walk about 1/2 mile back to the unloading zone.

It's one thing to be a 30 year old man or woman and do this.........it's something else to expect a 90 year old, who needs a walker, to do this.

I never cared for flying myself....my husband always thought it was great. He even liked helicopters. I was always as nervous as a whore in church when I flew. Guess that goes back to the 1950s when my grandmother, bless her heart, missed her flight...........it crashed over/around the Grand Canyon.

Between the eventual rising price of gasoline (Alaska/Iran or just plain greed), and the misery of waiting for hours in an airport (just to have all your cosmetics thrown into a bin for someone else to sell), they are either telling us to stay home or ride trains/ships/horses. I'll probably stay home too.

I guess George "the Worst President Ever" Bush is trying to revive some old American traditions....like covered wagons.

Seriously I wish we could get some non-govt chemical expert talking about this stuff. I don't doubt that some compounds could be dangerous or even explosive, but I'm wondering how practical it is to mix little bottles on a plane (even in that wee john) and get a sufficient reaction to blow up the plane? How much chemicals are we talking? An explosion might cause some minor damange, but I don't see taking down the whole plane unless you get into the cock pit.

I think this is the case of taking a small bit of truth and stretching it like stretch pants on a 400 lb woman. The coverage is thin and reality keeps sticking out.
