    Someone made a comment about "we're worried about the price of gas." I think it's human nature to focus on something that affects one directly rather than something more remote. At the end of the day, it's overwhelming to contemplate all the troubles in the Middle East, Korea, terrorism, etc. So a person gets fixated on how long the line is, how expensive gas is, etc.

    As far as the "source" of the plot goes, I think it may be combination of MI5 and Scotland Yard surveillance, and use of informants. Use of informants ("snitches" ) is a time tested part of police work. If the cops want to keep the informant in place, they keep to themselves who it is!

    I think the UK has had just a little practice dealing with terrorism (the Irish Troubles) that we in the US don't. Also, folks in the UK have become accustomed to policies that some in the US find objectionable. I daresay that if this goes on for 50 years we'll get used to them.

    I flew out to and home from Philly yesterday...no issues what so ever. We got through security each time in about 15-20 minutes. Lines were short and everything moved quickly.

    i did still see them confiscating some toothpaste, gels, etc. You kinda ahve to wonder, were these people living under a rock the last week, that they didn't know?
