HAND LUGGAGE BANNED
Big-time terror arrests in the UK:
British police say they have foiled a plot to smuggle explosive devices in airline hand luggage to blow up planes in mid-flight.
The targets were said to have been flights between the Britain and the US.
Overnight police have arrested a number of people in London and there has been a massive security clampdown on all flights leaving Britain.
Hand luggage has been banned and passengers are being hand-searched and told they cannot carry anything in their pockets when boarding their flights. Only essential items are being allowed on board - and they must be carried in clear plastic bags.
Damn Presbyterians.
UPDATE. Apologies to Presbyterians. Turns out, according to Muslim MP Shahid Malik, we should blame the Jews:
“The action of Israel and the inaction of the West is contributing to the difficult task of tackling extremism.”
