Country:  | From what I understand, somehow, someone in British intelligence infiltrated a cell and reported on the goings on as they were preparing to do a dry run with this. If this is actually the way it was done, that was a coup in the intel world as getting infiltration into a terror cell has not been easy at all. As far as I know, this is the first time a Middle Eastern type terror cell has been infiltrated.
I flew yesterday from Burbank to Denver and back. The security on domestic flights was pretty tight, and there was plenty of additional screening by TSA and a good presence of law enforcement. Was it over-reaction? Maybe, but in cases such as these, I would rather be a little inconvenienced than dead. Everyone else that I was around were patient with it as well. You have to adjust. I wasn't afraid, as that is what the bastards want. I actually felt safer knowing that the checks were quite thorough, and I was watching things closely myself and remaining vigilant.

Country:  | If it's in the name of saving my @ss and those of everyone on board the aircraft, I'm all for delays. Let the security folks do their jobs. Some of them get a little pushy from time to time, but it's the nature of the beast nowadays.
Damn terrorists.  | |

As long as they dont ban books then I dont mind. I'd be stuffed without books on a long flight. | We recieved a list at work of all the ingredients and I thought it was quite funny because we use all of them in cleaning certain parts of the aircraft.

Country: | I have no problem with the delays, tight security is a must.
I will have to call the airport tomorrow to find out what all kinds of security measures are taking place here so that I am not suprised when they confiscate something or what not. I dont want to end up pissed off in Paris when I had to leave something behind.

Country:  | You cannot be issued with the death sentence in Great Britain. There's crimes that you could be issued the death sentence with but, the death sentence is abolished and they'd get you on another crime instead.
These terrorists will have a cushy five years in prison, then released back into society to attempt killing thousands again.

Country: | We are all aware that in the Islamic "law" - a dead Muslim cannot be cremated, because it burns their soul or something. And they don't go to heaven...

I wouldn't cremate them, that's too expensive, I'd feed worms with them... | |

Country: | First off, Muslims aren't allowed to be burnt, it's in their religion. Secondly, it's cheaper to burn people than it is to bury them.
