I can't believe this is going on now. Good thing I check FReep coming in from work or I wouldn't know until morning.

I heard on Fox, via the Brits, that "Tawny Bleh" is vacationing in the Carribean.

Fox is saying orange for aviation, red for inbound UK flights, yellow everywhere else.

No, because FOX corrected itself and reported "orange for aviation, red for inbound UK flights, yellow everywhere else."

US raises security threat level to "severe"
Thu Aug 10, 2006 3:13am ET148

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is taking immediate steps to increase security measures in the aviation sector in coordination with heightened security precautions in the United Kingdom, the department said in a statement on Thursday.

"For that reason, the United States Government has raised the nation's threat level to Severe, or Red, for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States," the statement said.

BAA, which owns and operates seven UK airports, including London Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, has released the following statement Thursday morning.

"Following this morning's police action, the Department for Transport have asked all UK airports to apply additional security measures designed to ensure passenger safety.

These measures will prevent passengers from carrying hand luggage into the cabin of an aircraft with the following exceptions (which must be placed in a plastic bag):

# Pocket size wallets and pocket size purses plus contents (for example money, credit cards, identity cards etc (not handbags);

# Travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports and travel tickets);

# Prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (e.g. diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic;

# Spectacles and sunglasses, without cases;

# Contact lens holders, without bottles of solution;

# For those traveling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger);

# Sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags);

# Female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed (e.g. tampons, pads, towels and wipes) tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs;

# Keys (but no electrical key fobs)

All passengers must be hand searched, and their footwear and all the items they are carrying must be X-ray screened.

Pushchairs and walking aids must be X-ray screened, and only airport-provided wheelchairs may pass through the screening point.

In addition to the above, all passengers boarding flights to the USA and all the items they are carrying, including those acquired after the central screening point, must be subjected to secondary search at the boarding gate. Any liquids discovered must be removed from the passenger.

BAA wish to stress that these are precautionary measures. During the next few days airports will be extremely busy, therefore only those intending to fly should come to the airport. Passengers are also asked to use public transport to get to and from the airport wherever possible.

Passengers are asked to be patient while these additional security measures are put in place. Delays are likely and passengers are therefore asked to allow extra time for their journey."

Earilier, Sky News said 8 arrested and more pending in UK. Somehow I'm thinking this is a bait and switch. Something is up, but I think it's more of a another test.

So, US is hand checking all carry on luggage. But also according to FOX they are banning all carry on luggage. Nothing liquid including lotion and hair gel. What do you think they suspect could be used?

As I've learned from my son, it shoots off like a rocket when put together. You can see it in action at YouTube.com.

does this mean they will actually START PROFILING ?
Strip search and detail scrutinize anyone of Middle Eastern
appearance or origin ! If they don't like that , let them fly their own national carriers , but not to any of 'our' countries.
How long are we going to give the ragheads a free pass to attack us?
