According to that article that was just posted today, it seems many flights between the UK and USA are cancelled due to an attempted terrorist attack. The attempted attack was supposed to involve a "liquid chemical device" that is probably used in making an explosive. So, as of right now, the US Department of Homeland Security raised the threat level for British-US passenger flights to 'red' which means that any type of liquid are banned. This includes, drinks, hair gels, lotions, etc. A lot of the flights are delayed now as they are checking every single carry-on bag and luggage even more carefully.
So, how do you feel about this? Any thoughts? Discuss.

Think you got what it takes to be part of The Paper People?
First I heard of it, I thought
This is most likely caused by my dream last night about the incident, from some reason I'm precognitive of terrorist attacks, i don't know why, I had a dream the night of 9-10-01 and a dream the night before the bus bombings in London. I was wrong though, noithing really ever happened.Those idiots are most likely just decoys, the real terror is coming from elsewhere completely unexpected

The rel problem I have is that now the airlines are getting super-fascistic. And considering how fascistic some of the already are, that's saying something. They're banning all carry on luggage in some cases, along with laptops, iPods, cell phones and so forth. Cell phones are against FAA regulations anyway, so that doesn't bother me., but come on. What's next? You have to be put in a straitjacket when you're on a plane? Security is one thing, paranoia is another.
That's good high security = safer
I wonder how would it feel to live in the US or UK with many groups looking for revenge against them. Here in Australia it doesn't feel that bad, there are is a campaing of publicity to encourage people to report anything "strange" but apart from that nothing.

I was on vacation this summer and went out of the country. The security wasn't that bad going out of the country, just seemed like normal, but oh man, when I came back to the US and arrived in Los Angeles, the security was top-notch. I probably went through two or three security stops. People's suitcases were opened too, regardless of who they were and checked thoroughly for anything dangerous. They even checked my MP3 player and went through the songs until they decided that it didn't contain any information. I don't have a problem with it. I guess they have to be super safe even if it means being paranoid sometimes just to keep people safe.
Now that this has happened, the security is probably even more careful than before. Just like 9-11, this is probably the worst time to fly out of the country right now.
It's pretty normal over here among the public at least. It's just that they're stricter now whenever you want to do anything like get a job, driver's license, even a school ID.

Same here in Texas, but I must admit that getting my driver's license wasnt exactly something...err...difficult...not even the written exam...

How I knew another one of these things had to happen soon. But maybe some police officiers just overheard and panicked? What if it's all just a panic? I don't think it's that dangerous that airports should be safeguarded like that. However, what if it happened? It would've been a VERY bad thing, and my parents would probably refuse to ever go on a plane again and even less let me go on one. I hate how a bunch of lunatics make some stupid plot to attack planes. That's not gonna work again, unless the government backed them up, and they'd never back up such a crazy thing. I personally don't think that they could've managed it that easily anyways, the security is very strict. I'm not surprised at all...

if there wasn't high security they would have sufered much more.

you would have been paranoid too if you needed to guard other people's lives.
better safe than sorry

I think theres just too much fuss about it. I mean all those cancellations, delays and all that shit with the hand luggage. You need to take see through plastic bags and are just allowed to take your passport, purse and medicine and have to check in all your other stuff. I mean it's okay for the flights to america - I understand that there must be taken precautions, better safe than sorry - but for all the other ones its just annoying. Hopefully it will be all over next week when Im going to fly...
Well US has already resume flight between uk and their country but they have enforced another rule whereby your not allowed to carry in hand luggage onto the passenger cabin all luggage is to be loaded into the luggage bay..
but oh dear terrorist have hit the western region... mygod is the day of judgement coming close... all this warfare has only gotten worst and means to solve peacefully seem to not be an option between any country... oh dear..

Personally, I'm quite appauled at the whole event. I've lived in London for most of my life, whilst travelling around to Canada and the United States, among other things. I was in London when the tube bombs and bus bomb went off... It was a wretched, dispair-filled day. BBC newscasts flooded the airwaves, discussing what survivors had seen and heard, and what the city was to do about it. Everything stood at a standstill-- shops closed, traffic thinned and the city was quiet.
But you know what? The next day, London had returned to normal. People took the bus, and checked when the tube would be back on line. Aside from more police officers wandering the street, and a memorial outside of the Marks and Spencer, everything was as it had been.
Here's my theory-- keep in mind, it's probably wrong-- but I believe the terrorists attempted to strike out at Heathrow (London airport) because London bounced back so quickly. There's probably some bragging rights in taking down citizens of a country with a motto "stiff upper lip."
I'm disgusted with the attacks for more than one reason, though. Why should they want to attack London? It's a multicultural city: any trip down Edgeware Road could tell you that. There's as much Arabic down there as is there is in the city of Riyadh. Women frequently wear full burkas in the street, and are rarely harassed (to m knowledge, anyway.) There are plenty of followers of Islam in high-ranking positions in the city, and everyone seems to get along fairly well.
Britain's reaction to the attacks makes sense, but America's reaction is ridiculous, if you ask me. All British flights into America have been cancelled indefinately because of security risks. Security risks?!? For Christ's sake, these Brits have just stopped a vicious terror plot, and to thank them, you lock them out of your country? That's ridiculous. Is it any wonder America's constantly under seige?
Sorry if that was a bit much. You asked for opinions, and opinions I gave.

Your point about the magnitude of the reactions in both countries is reasonable. However, you should compare the magnitude of the attacks that both countries suffered before. I don't want to trivialise the deaths but the attack suffered by the US is by far greater than the UK bombing.NanukPersonally, I'm quite appauled at the whole event.

Oh, I don't doubt that for a second-- there was a much larger scale of death in 9/11 than on 7/7. However, the fundamental principle of terrorism is that it's not how many people are killed; it's how many are left to live in fear. In interviews with members of terrorist organisations, they claimed they did not know the world trade center buildings were so unstable and that they would kill so many. It was a bonus, if you will.
