Terror Targets
The Washington Post is reporting that the tree US airlines that were being targeted in the bomb plots were American Airlines, Continental Airlines and United Airlines.
British authorities said today they had disrupted a "major terrorist plot" to blow up passenger flights between the United Kingdom and the United States, prompting a full-scale security clampdown at U.S. and British airports and a cascade of delays in trans-Atlantic flights.
London's Deputy Police Commissioner, Paul Stephenson, said 21 people had been arrested in London and in Birmingham, England, after a months-long investigation into what he said was a plan for "mass murder on an unimaginable scale." Peter Clarke, chief of the London police department's anti-terrorism branch, said the investigation reached a "critical point" last night, requiring immediate disruption of the plot, the arrests and the imposition of heightened security measures.
There will be NO liquids or gels of any types allowed in carry-on luggage on US flights. I expect this will be getting even worse as more details come out. Expect a total carry-on ban very soon, I think.
