This is for anyone who doesn't already know by now, the uk police are saying they've disrupted a major terror attack to set up bombs on 10+ planes leaving from uk airports.
I have a friend with his missus and their 1-year old son due to arrive back from Dubai today, and another friend's parents who are supposed to be flying out to Canada. Looks like Heathrow and Gatwick have cancelled all planes atm.
More info: BBC News, CNN

Sounds like they were going to use a chemical weapon of some sorts on a flight from England to the U.S.

Good thing, the police was on them before they did any dmg. 21-22 ppl are arrested according to news agencies. According to some expetrs the attack may have something to do with 22-nd of August.

I posted this in Gen Discussion but it got pwnd, so just to let people know not to crosspost  It looks like no luggage is being allowed on either (bbc has a detailed list), especially liauids (baby milk unless atsted in front of security, contact lens fluid, liquid medication etc). Maybe they'd been tipped that the agent would be in liquid form? Also no electrical stuff allowed on (obviously) even car keys or "whistle-to-find-me" keyrings. My thoughts go out to the poor people who are stuck with no idea when they travel, but I'm sure they'd prefer this to being a name on a memorial. I know I would (and I'm due to fly to Ibiza on 9/11 )

I bet you would think differently if you were the one being attacked by tent poles. Or if someone tried to kill you with a zippo. --------

It looks like that if the plane was in the air before theyt cancelled flights coming in at some of the airports they are still allowing them to land. I wonder how they are going to stop hand luggage if you have already checked in and are at a gate waiting to board.

They'll make you check it, just like they always have done if you had hand luggage that wasn't permitted. ________________________________________________

No, I'd still think it was retarded that they confiscate sharp tent poles but don't mind me being stabbed in the head by a blunt one.  ________________________________________________

you were allowed to take that zippo on board at all i had to strip down to my pink panties and socks and hand in the zippo so it could be locked away during flight or something (not that smoking was allowed anyway) _________________________________ just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean i'm not following!

Oh please i bet you aren't even *** yourself. Its a word that has been dragged into a uniform description of all things stupid. (admitedly it was done origionaly because of its connection to homosexuality) but these days you will find that most people who use it hold no malice toward homosexuals at all. Its the same with alot of old derogatory remarks that still get used, Nihalists end up making more of them then is intended. They are just words people, words themselves cannot offend, only their intention can cause harm. If you intend a word to be insulting it is.

I once knew somebody that was beaten to death by a Zippo. Then, ironically, next to the tent they built a fire and put him in it... Thank God there was a Police Officer aboard that plane! How many more people would have been ruthlessly beaten by that Harley Davidson Collectible Limited Edition Stainless Steel lighter?! God only knows.

I don't know if you're talking about flying out of the US or not, but banning lighters on plane is a law enacted by the congress of the united states, Dec. 13, 2004.
It's the only item that has been specifically banned by the legislature, previously the TSA/DHS had developed a list of prohibited items.
TSA/DHS has been trying to convince the legislature to allow them back on planes since.
That being said, it's against the law to bring a lighter into the cabin of an aircraft.
You can check them in your baggage, but only in a travel/flight approved vapor proof container, and only specific types of lighters.
I work for the TSA/DHS.
Hidden in this signature is a secret message.

This is our gov doing the whole 9/11 thing, but their avoiding killing people directly, which is nice.
If 'Terrorists' wanted to do damage, the UK would be ina whole lot of pain. It's easier to make a bomb than buy a gun (depending on where you live ).
Why are'nt building being demolitioned ona daily basis, why is emigration still lax if 'anyone could be a terrorist'.

1.) Planes will never be 100% safe, this problem should be taken straight to it's source before it escelates.
2.) It does seem convinient to suddenly have a load of arrests and "high alert", not saying that it is contrived, but be open to the possibility that our government wants to draw attention away from other events in the world eh?

They WOULD NOT GO TO CODE : CRITICAL if it wasnt thought to be so and if it was a fake. You know how much money this is going to cost the airport, the passengers on a planes etc. ? at one point more or less all flights were canceled.
Also the police have made 24 arrests (last i heard), they wouldnt do that unless they had sufficient evidence.
TBH i don't know why ***** bin liner is still doing this **** , bloody alqaeda >< but its kind of comforting to know hes living in ****ty caves at least .

*Clap**Clap**Clap**Clap*
According to NPR and a couple of other places the actual plan was that the bombs were made from 2 chemicals, that when mixed together would explode, and these chemicals is what the guys were carrying. This sounds kind of un-realistic, atleast with my limited chemistry knowledge, airplanes are pretty tough now-adays. And it's gunna take alot more then 4 pints of an explosive to blow up a plane... Anyway this could all be bull anyway, never know with the media.
Please STOP comparing EvE to WoW, they are polar opposites, and are made for completely diffrent audiences. Seriously. |

Edited by: Maximillian Pele on 11/08/2006 03:52:33 Planes and terrorists have a long and unhappy relationship.
I did a lot of flying around North Africa in the 80s on TWA (Terrorists Welcomed Always). You were actually told as part of the safety brief how to react if the plane was hijacked.
In those innocent days you had to carry your own bags to the plane, which were then loaded only once you boarded in the believe that you wouldn't place a bomb on a plane you were also on.
It really doesn't take a huge bomb to bring down a jet airliner - make a big enough hole and the plane will tear itself apart. Airliner insides are also highly flamable, and many of the light weight materials make toxic smoke. Plus you need matches/lighters for your shoe bombs.
And unlike car bombs, or bombing trains or buses, if you bomb a airliner correctly you are (a) guaranteed to kill everyone onboard, and (b) it takes investigators far longer to gather evidence to track down your terror cell if they need to fish the plane wreck from the bottom of the ocean.
In times of doubt I ask myself "What would BoB do?", and then do the opposite. |

Oh please. I merely stated that single words carry no malice if it isnt intended. pc do-gooders then give the words weight and malicious meaning by singling them out. Just as they single out the racial or other 'minority' groups.
You see theres racist people who are malicious and to be ****in honest need to be shot. The pc, nihalist types that single out all the different groups, putting into effect things like, not being able to say this or do that (hate crimes anyone?). Then theres the people who, like myself, actualy realise people are all the same no matter their background or where they're from and just let people get on with being human.
People like you that single out the different groups by trying to enforce people not being able to say this or that end up causing much more tension then you could ever hope to avert. The world cant be rid of descrimination until people actualy just let people get on with they're lives, an let our more uncivilised years slip into the ether.
Ofcourse that being said, if i was having a conversation with someone that is particualy sensitive to certain words or phrases perhaps because of they're background, then obviously I dont use them, to avoid causing offense. However most people i know, know my real feelings and so dont take offense to anything i say simply because they know i dont mean to cause any.
Agree with my view point or dont, I dont really care, I dont know you or want your respect. Do not however think that I say, what I say, because I want to be able to use words that you deem as being offensive to try and look cool. Im posting on an internet forum, that will never make anyone look 'cool'.
Oh and on a side note, atleast by posting what you did, it would seem you are not someone that beleves everyone's opinion is valid. There may be hope for you yet.

Originally by: Maximillian Pele It really doesn't take a huge bomb to bring down a jet airliner - make a big enough hole and the plane will tear itself apart.
Depends on what we're talking about here - it would likely take a decently large explosive or a small, directed explosive to do enough damage to the hull to cause a ***** to form and spread. Even then, if you're just putting it by a window or other non-critical area, you're not going to do anything except rip a hole in the roof, which yea would kill people but it wouldn't make the plane instantly doomed.
Now, maybe leaving it in the forward lavatory? Eep, that might be a cause for alarm.

Oh please i bet you aren't even *** yourself. Its a word that has been dragged into a uniform description of all things stupid. (admitedly it was done origionaly because of its connection to homosexuality) but these days you will find that most people who use it hold no malice toward homosexuals at all. Its the same with alot of old derogatory remarks that still get used, Nihalists end up making more of them then is intended. They are just words people, words themselves cannot offend, only their intention can cause harm. If you intend a word to be insulting it is.
Don't know what is worse. The idiot making the original comments or the idiot trying to justify them.
By using your 'logic' you could take any derogatory remark and justify it just because YOU think its all in fun.
Quit trying to be cool and fit in by using these remarks child.
Oh please. I merely stated that blah blah blah (read the post if u want the whole rant)
is it possible for you to start a rant without 'oh please' you're trying to sound superior but actually u sound like a broken record where 'oh please' is your best insult... if it was 'oh yes please then this thread would have taken a different tone

Quick note: it's not a conspiracy. Government agencies are nowhere near smart, talented, or resourced enough to pull off half the c**p that Jeff Rense listeners believe they can. The truth isn't out there: the truth is that all governments are actually pretty incompetent.

sadly this is the truth.
The divide is getting bigger, and imo it is to late to stop the decline. The worry is that the 'western' life style wont hold up to attack by fanatical sustained attack from anyone imo. we are equipped for a cold war engagement not this. The UK and US leaders imo are in a dream land. Our intelligence (which i think is crap) has to be 100% successsful. the other side only have to be successful once every now and again.
I must admit though - that i do believe that the current leadership of the bush and blair idiots believe they are getting a better control of their populace using the fear of terror as a whipping stick to push through all sorts of almost irrelevant laws etc. BUT i feel they are playing with fire. This is not a pet that can be played with, the fanatics in this world - whatever race/religion they be are not to be underestimated. They are growing in finacial, political and numerical strengths everytime an israeli, Uk, US bomb kills another 'civilian'. One day this casual slaughter of non specfic targets will BITE this world we know.!!

Hint : Don't run through a tube station when theres armed police jsut days after a terrorist attack? If he hadnt of been stupid enough to run he wouldnt of been thought to be a possible terrorist, and if he had stopped he wouldnt of been shot. Now if he had turned out to be a terrorist, and the police hadnt shot him, he could be dangerous, have explosives etc and threaten lives. Its a risk that had to be took imo.

So lets shot you because I suspect you are terrorist because I saw you running int the tube... Brilliant idea. Well if its a mistake... who cares.. its a risk that we need take.

So not being able to form an argument against my post (or even for, some of the points within). You decide to pick up on one particular use of my language, claiming im trying to sound superior. You also claim it is an insult, which I find highly amusing.
No, I dont need to use language to feel superior to you, I'll just listen to the best counter points you can come up with.

As a point of British Law, all passengers who are running late, and are therefore in a hurry, will be shot on site. We can't afford to take any chances. --- --- --- ---

OMG, why did this thread tuen into an argument about the use of homo-terminology to describe stuff?
Back on topic, i'm glad they've made arrests and just hope someone spills info that helps the government get higher up the chain (and hopefully dissolve whatever terrorist cell started this plot).
Seems as tho the "agent" was in liquid form, which makes it very difficult to find and trace. I'm just thankful this was stopped before a catastrophe occurred. This could've been the worst atack we've seen.
I got a jar of dirt!

Its a screwed if you do, screwed if you don't kinda situation...If hedhave been a bomber the copper would have been a hero for stopping him, if he had been a bomber and copper did not fire the same ones crwaling all over his ass for wht was done would still have been crawling all over his ass.
Like a instance that happened at a RAF atation I was training at, some muppet decided to pull a water pistol (not one of the dayglow see through ones) on the gateguards...the armed sentry did not shoot, but the general feeling was he should have (espcailly from the RAF Reg corpral that put the sentry through his training). ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self |

Erm the guy that got shot was an illegal immigrant thus he should have never even been here.
Also if so many people werent stupid enough as to believe what thousand years old book says we wouldnt be in this trouble in the first place. That is the only problem. I cant say the word since its banned to talk about it here though. Be more then happy to point out how wrong you are if you disagree with me, but it has to be in game.
