Another non-existant "plot" by non-existant "terrorists" to blow up Airliners with baby milk has been "foiled" by our magnificent security services.
21 people have been arrested in the UK in connection with the terror plot. I wonder how many of these 21 will actually be charged with an offence.
The Uk's airports are now in a state of utter confusion and chaos because liquid explosives (do such things realy exist?) might be used to blow up planes in mid flight.
Of course, because the "plot" has been "foiled" we will never know who was telling the truth.
Coincidentely, the Isreali offensive into Lebanon has suddenly become un-newsworthy.
Are we realy this stupid?

So much better to let the terrorists blow up the planes and kill innocent civilians. Then would you consider it newsworthy?
De-lurking to stir stuff up.

What really pisses me off about the coverage of this "attack" is how much the commentators sound like John Madden on Monday Night Football, "a classic al-Qaida tactic"..."By comparison, the London subway attacks look like child's play"..."These people are obsessed," he said. "They will try and try and try again to accomplish their mission"..."could very well have been an attempt at 'the Big One.'" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060810/ap_on_re_eu/terror_plot_the_big_on

"Could very well have been..." What kinda b.s. is that? And what makes this truly miserable news (if indeed it can be called "news") so dang exciting to these people?
"Yet another vicious attack on all we hold dear by Goldstien and his gang of thugs has been twarted by our brave men and women in customs! Double plus good, that! Liquid explosives! Can you imagine, comrade? What will they think of next??? Stay tuned!"

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Secure Flight has been in development since 2004, after two earlier prescreening efforts were scrapped over privacy concerns. In all of the programs, passenger names are checked against lists of known and suspected terrorists.
GAO reported in February that Secure Flight is at serious risk of being ineffective, because it was rushed through development without rigorous, disciplined definition of its requirements. What’s more, it may fall short on protecting privacy and system security.
