Country:  | We must always remember that if you are free to think, free to buy, free to worship, and free to be what you want, there are people out there that hate us for that and want to either change you to their way of thinking or kill you. We are in the midst of a great conflict between civilization and those who want a return to the dark ages. The biggest danger we have right now are people who want to stick their head in the sand and fight every tool we need to ensue our freedom from those who hate us. | |

Country:  | 21 people arrested now. Heathrow and Standsted are pretty much closed, delays at all other UK airports vary from 30 mins to 4 hours plus. Hopefully should be able to fly out of Gatwick tomorrow close to time (looking like there shouldn't be too much of a delay - only 1 hour 40 mins at the moment).

Country: | ok sorry for the repeat and the ....... doh ............ questions but I had forst heard about 2 hours ago on a bike ride with freinds that a bomb blew up but caught the instigators. Gents please tell me what is really going on in detail.

Country:  | If proved in a court of law that this was their intent they should be sentenced to death or life in prison with no chance of parole preferably in the general population

hang em high Clint ! | A peroxide based explosive that can be made from commonly available products so they aren't releasing full details of what it was, it can't be detected by anything so they are banning all liquids from being brought on board. Of course they need a detonator as well so you kiss good bye to anything battery powered being allowed on as hand luggage on any flights in future, not even watches. As long as they dont ban books then I dont mind. I'd be stuffed without books on a long flight.

Because if executed, they'd become actually what they most want - being martyrs... Quote: |

Country: | the only liquids allowed on now, because it's thought the explosive was in liquid form, is baby milk, and you will be asked to taste in infront of a customs officer to make sure it is milk...............
and i believe there are only two crimes that carry the Death sentence in the UK, one, quite obviously is high treason, the other, perhaps less obviously is setting fire to a Royal Naval Dockyard the only time the death sentence would be issued for either crime is baisically if you were about to kill the queen, otherwise it will never get issued........
