It's to early to make any kind of real comment until more news is released thankfully it was foiled.

Well, it certainly seems something was stopped, well, so we hope anyway. From what I can tell it was to involve some kind of liquid explosive hidden in a standard fizzy drinks bottle and detonated using some kind of electrical device disguised as a standard domestic electrical device. The entire UK airline industry has pretty much ground to a halt, but it seems that whatever was being planned has been stopped.
Our terror alert level has gone up to critical which means an attack could take place at any time (although officals stress they 'think' they have everything under control), and the US airport alert level has gone up to 'red' apparently.

Captain Nemo, you will get bombarded for posting this.

You are wise not to include any comments in your post otherwise it would get equalized with something else.

Nevertheless, I expect a link to some other story which has nothing to do with this event attempting to equate the two anyway.

Well you don't take your own drinks to restaurant either.
(Unless it's permitted. In Finland it's not.)

That's because political madness and bending over back wards for muslims has done nothing to sort this mess out. Are politicians are so weak they dare not speak out for being branded raciest by the liberal noodles who are now in control of England, we are sitting on a time bomb, riots or civil unrest will break out when I don't know. The whole country is a mess from top to bottom and no one wants to sort it out.
