Terrorists arrested after trying to blow up 20 planes in UK

[Crash]

20 terrorists were just arrested sneaking bombs onto planes with suitcases (carryons).

Apparently they were going to get on seperate planes, and blow them up. The bomb detectors are useless against a new "liquid" bomb.

US raises to Orange Alert.

Link, or heresay?

[Xantar]

It's true. NPR is reporting on it right now. Actually, we're on red alert. Passengers are not allowed to bring any carry-ons at all at this time.

[Krypton]

been watching about this all morning.

I guess the "professionals" are saying this was trying to be some kind of 9/11 anniversary thing, and they were guessing these people were trying to kill in excess of 30,000 people.

Atleast that's what they said on the local news.

Well, they are a month early for an anniversary. Hiding in their caves plotting must have made time seem to go by faster... :D

Congrats to the UK popo's for catching them in the act, or whatever.

Is there something about you that you're not telling us?

[Jonbo298]

At least it got disrupted. Shows that security is at least working..for the most part. Mistakes will happen, someone will overlook something but for today, their effort failed. For now.

Jesus...a group of people who do not value life in a world where good people do, do not deserve to live. Plain and simple.

MP3 players and sport drinks were the 'liquid bombs'!

How do they do that?

If this is propaganda-free then I'm very impressed with this event's takedown. Awesome.

You would be suprised what can be weaponized. In yor own pantry you have bleach and ammonia. Mix them together and you have chlorine gas, one of the most deadly gasses known to man. Dissolve the correct proportion of styrofoam with gasoline, and you get an amazingly flamable and dangerous napalm gel.

You can make almost anything dealy, if you have to will and lack of conscience to do it.

Anyway, good for them, you know, if it isn't all part of the neo-con illuminati New World Order conspiracy... :eyes:

[fingersman]

Well I hope this is true ( that they caught the terrorist that is ) and pray that the authorities will keep on catching them in Jesus name.



This just makes me really mad.

[KillerGremlin]

Damn it!

In a week you will be required to board planes naked.

In which case, the government better start enforcing a no ugmo/fat-people policy. They can have their own seperate airlines.

You can call me superficial, but I blame it on the terrorists!

LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!!!!

[Blackmane]

But I want my Evian on board!

[Storm Eagle]

To think this all started on a day that I went on vacation. Anyway I got back yesterday.
