Thankfully not! I understand the check-in queues were already very long at 6am this morning at Glasgow.

I'd be devastated if I couldn't take my book on board. Can you imagine the whole flying experience without a book? Doesn't bear thinking about.

Oh my gosh...

So glad my holiday's all ready been and done. It's so sad and terrible that terrorism continues to gone on with force in our world

I have been glued to my TV this morning.

And I'm sure we're all shocked at who is responsible...ARGH! They planned it to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11. They said on the news to make your life easier and don't take any bottles of liquid on board since the bombs were liquid on plastic bottles. I just wish they would just blow themselves up and leave the rest of us alone...OY! OOPS, guess I'm an infidel....

They have now banned liquids from carry ons.

Just my thoughts: before being afraid of anything else I was afraid I couldn't take my book.
I'm so glad I'm not in one of these queues- the chaos in London is unbelievable is what I heard from my co-workers there.

I'm going to London the 21st...hope we are back to normal then.

My husband is the tv watcher in this house, and he often watches BBC Net work. He alerted me an hour ago about this present situation .

7 outgoing flights that were scheduled to depart from UK to the US, we canceled. I read your link Brody's mum--thank-you!!!!

The news disrupted my usual routine---However, I am not stranded at an airport right now thank GOD!!

Whew!!!!!!! So very thank-ful that this operation was nailed down, (500 flights canceled in London alone!!!!

) This is real terrorism--We may as well learn how to fly on our own (wings)

I am praying for PEACE during my lifetime . I am Thank-ful that there was no mass murder on the news.

Aren't Terrorist Just Great People!!!

God, ya gotta love 'em. Just doing God's work right?????????????????????????????????????????????

I mean... somebody's gotta do it?

I just don't understand. I can not, do not, will not ever be able to understand why those who harbor and train Terrorists are not "uniformly" comdemened by everyone! Those who are victims, intended targets, neutral parties and most importantly - their fellow countrymen should stand in unison against these terrible cancers to all humankind.

Everyone say one big, loud chorus of, "we don't like you, we don't want you... we comdemn your actions and we want you to cease your evil, evil deeds immediately (if not sooner - as my Dad always said)".

If you are really that evil, that rotten to the core that you just can't think of anything but murder - then please find a quiet, isolated and peaceful place "to BLOW YOURSELF UP"!

Bob's dad guess they have a different God than we do !
I have always afraid to fly this really makes me not want to ever. Sad that there is so much hate in the world.

**mugsy** · 08-10-2006, 12:21 PM

I think they need to check the calendar...this was supposed to coincide with the 5 year anniversary of 9/11. Not only are they evil incarnate, but, they're not very bright! Maybe Bob will get his wish and they'll all just do us all a favor and blow themselves up....let them go find their virgins...or as Robin Williams said on Broadway...George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, etc. met the terrorists in the here after and they asked where their virgins were, they responded with, "not virgins you a-hole...Virginians!" lol It was something like that and loses something in the translation, but, it was really funny.

Anyway, I just wish they would go away (permanently). I hate it when they win, which they did in a way because we were forced to alter our lives and they love that...even if we aren't all dead...

Knowing Gina (of gina's ark, inc.) was travelling tday, I emailed her this morning to put all lotions, liguids, etc. in a bag she would check.

I got an email from her when she had made it through. She said she was asked by security people 4/5 times if she had anything liquid, gels, and she was able to say, "No, they are in my backpack and it has been checked," and point to the ticket counter, so it was essentially smooth sailing. She said there were lots of upset, muttering people around the airport, but that when they saw Crayola, they would smile.
