I fly back to England tomorrow from Canada and we're not alloud to take drinks or cosmetics. One area of Canada has prevented even the staff from taking any liquids, pastes or gels on he flight, so people wil have to go thirsty; anything short of bodily fluids and fuel (and if they could do without them I'm sure they would).
Personally I see sense in the precautions. The loss of the airliners wouldn't be an issue worse than the plot Havoc, but the hundreds of lives that go with them would be.
What annoys me is the American media's reaction to it all: for them its an excuse to praise the wonderful American government for saving us all from Al quaida (or however its spelt), despite the fact that no definite connection between that terrorist group and this plot has been found, there is no proof that American cities are under direct threat (no matter how many times Americ says Washington and New York were targeted) and England have actually tried to prevent the FBI getting involved because they know that these are the sort of assumptions the american forces would make. I was watching CNN yesterday: they were interviewing an English guy about the plot and when he started to say that America wasn't under personal threat, they cut him off and the presenter started talkiing very quickly to cover his voice. I'm inclined to call that idiocy. The American's are making chaos to make themselves look better.
But Jacob, what about white muslims and terrorists? (if you say there are none then you're a bigger idiot that you make yourself look.) Maybe we should stop all 'whites' who have ever come into contact with 'browns' from using planes as well.
