I heard this on Bob and Sheri this morning...evidently the alert affects all flights in the US as well...people were calling in to the radio station telling them about their experience at the airport. No shampoos, conditioners, hair gels, (gels of ANY type are not allowed), even Baby food can't be taken onboard...  |

To be honest - is this our governments way of saying "Danger Danger Will Robinson" is it just hype to get us all unfocussed again - thinking of the old political smoke and mirrors or is it actually real??? Unfortunately I have doubts of our government and even more doubts about our news media - unless its from the BBC which is the only news I actually trust now adays...  |

That's OK...I don't trust our news media that much either...A lot of it is censored; that's why I check NPR and the BBC news for a balance.  |

Glad you folks are properly convinced and it didn't take a plane blown out of the sky to settle your doubts. Side note: Terrorist, terror etc. is not the enemy. Shall we just call it what it is, Radical Islam, and when are all these Peacefull Muslims going to take a strong stand and denounce these murderers amoung them?  |

BCAR, you seem to be hung up on the muslim thing with regard to this, but according to the BBC all of the people arrested today so far have been british nationals, and not all muslims either.  |

I will stick with them being terrorists.....like the Aryian Nation.....I find there methods to be pretty effective....can't win an all out war....so....now do what they said they would do 20 years ago.....bring aboard an aircraft benign chemicals that mixed will be deadly....now watch the wave of reactions to a foiled plot and the change in life style to everyday citizens....  |

Aryan Nations, Red Brigade, IRA, and the Fundemental Christian Eric Rudolf, homicidal maniacs all and roundly condemned by their fellow man. But lets call a spade a spade here, where is the outcry and condemnation from the mainsteam members of their religion? I'm sure there is some but it seems very very quiet to me. |

Glen Beck started his show on this this morning and the first caller said it was the Bush administrations way of drawing public opinion back to terror after leiberman lost his primary. Can you beleive that a persons first thought on this news is about it being a political ploy? Honestly, Does anyone think Englands government/news outlets gives a rats nose about leiberman? As long as some in our own country place party before country, we are in bad shape.  |

Last time I checked Lieberman was still a Democrat with a long and firm history of voting with the left on most issues. I doubt the fact that he traveled to Iraq and has supported the war would be worth manufacturing a British based terror attack. |

They are not saying who was caught today, so we do not know if they are all muslims, but I would place a bet on it BCAR. The only things I could find were "Britons of Pakistani decent." and, "British police sources did not rule out an al Qaeda link, but played down direct involvement by the global militant group. Police sources said some of those arrested were British Muslims." It does not say what the rest are, but I'm sure we will know soon enough.

I agree with you BCAR that it seems so many who should protest these acts committed int eh name of a religion that they also adhere to remain silent....and those that become vocal use the incident as almost a word of God that their side is right.....that has been going on for ages...... |

Wise, it is amazing the number of people of both Christian and Muslim backgrounds protesting what we (and Israel) do, -vs- the lack of protesting of anyone against anything the Islamic Terrorists do. Until the "silent, peaceful" muslims stand against these raticals (at least in voice), I will go on thinking that their silence IS approval. |

Yes wise, and we know that people will eventually see the need. But will it bee too late when they do? It is an amazing thing to see. The very people who are targeted by terrorists have sympathy for them, and hostillity toward those who would try to stop the attacks. It is sad when the need to see the powerful fall is more important than their own nation? |

Three of the ringleaders have now been identified. The three who are now in custody, as:

--Mohammed al-Ghandra
--Ahmed al Khan.... They sound like Swedish grandma's to me.
