Terrorists arrested after trying to blow up 20 planes in UK

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.

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.

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...

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?

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.
