Airlines Terror Plot And Other News

I heard this story last night on Fox News as I was getting ready for bed.

'Airlines terror plot' disrupted
BBC

A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said.
It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled in hand luggage on to as many as 10 aircraft.

Police are searching premises after 21 people were arrested. Home Secretary John Reid said they believed the "main players" were accounted for.
High security is causing delays at all UK airports. (Read the rest the story here.)

As a result the US has raised it Terror Threat Level to Red for all flights to the UK and Orange to all other flights:

Washington raised its threat alert to its highest level for commercial flights from Britain to the United States amid fears the plot had not been completely crushed. The alert for all flights coming or going from the United States was also raised slightly.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertnoff said the terrorists planned to use liquid explosives disguised as beverages and other common products and detonators disguised as electronic devices.

In response, the U.S. government has banned all liquids and gels from flights, including toothpaste, makeup, suntan lotion. Baby formula and medicines were exempted, but will be tested before allowed on board. Airports have also added an additional layer of security at boarding gates. (Full Story here.)

My local news is reporting that all people taking flights out should arrive at the airports 2 hours early to have time to go through the screening process. They are saying that everyone will be screened and flights will not be delayed because of this. So allow yourself enough time to get through screening for they will not delay any flights to wait for you. Worldnet Daily also has some good articles about this. (Read it here.)

On to other news, it looks like Israel is pulling back from their ground offensive in Lebanon. There are reports now that Iranian soldiers have been killed in Lebanon fighting for Hezbollah. (As if that is a surprise.)

It looks like the MSM has been caught red-handed doctoring war photos this week. SHAME ON YOU! Once again we see that the MSM is hand-in-hand with futhering the cause of Islam. (Read here.) I wonder if the MSM realizes that if we were under Sharia Law that they would no longer be allowed to have Free Speech and Freedom of the Press. This one makes me scratch my head. Why would they promote and further the cause of something that is trying to take control of the world and if successful would taking away their rights to report the truth? Maybe that is just it. They haven’t been reporting the truth for a long time?
