#5 As so many other level-headed individuals here have said before:

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Then flatten where the money came from.

#6 What the hell is next?????

Every time the terrorists try a new method for murder, the rest of us have new restrictions.
First no fingernail clippers
Then we have to take off our shoes
Now no liquids or electronics

What is going to happen when the terrorists take it to the next level and start surgically implanting IEDs within their bodies???

#7 Some dork talking on the BBC (admitedly this morning when information was sparse) was talking about full body-cavity searches GO3907, so some people are already thinking of it...

#8 "talking about full body-cavity searches"

That might cover "up there with the ham sandwich", but what about the NEXT level: Full surgical implantation?

#9 Full surgical implantation. It's not just for pacemakers anymore.

#10 full body-cavity searches
The 2 Chechen women who blew up Russian airliners were purported to have smuggled the explosive just that way. Or it could be the Russians covering up for shoddy security. Either way, I'm surprised a Mohammedan hasn't tried to blow up a western airliner with just this method.

#11 "Two of them are believed to have recently traveled to Pakistan and were later in receipt of money wired to them from Pakistan, reportedly to purchase tickets for the suicide bombers."

I wonder if this information was gathered before or after the MSM blew the cover off the $WIFT info tracking program.

#13 Just saw over on Times Online

That the key element in breaking this plot was provided by - wait for it - Pakistani Intelligence. Now I really wonder if the whole thing is a fake just meant to hassle us.

#16 Would anyone in Britain be so bold as to propose the restoration of capital punishment for such heinous acts?

Just one newspaper, even a tabloid, to have an editorial calling for hanging for attempted or successful mass murder as a terrorist act. Just to see what the British people have to say about it.

I find it hard to believe that Fleet Street has become so timid.

#24 From the Sun Online
Brit was born a Christian

"ONE suspect arrested yesterday was a British Christian who converted to Islam when his new religion “just clicked”.

Don Stewart-Whyte, 21, changed his name to Abdul Waheed and grew a bushy beard, said his neighbours.

Last night it was believed he was the son of Doug Stewart-Whyte, a Tory party agent who died nine years ago.

Stewart-Whyte, who recently married, was one of at least four people held in High Wycombe, Bucks, as cops foiled a mass plot to down transatlantic jets.

Others held in the town included a close pal of his and a young lad who had just returned from Pakistan.

One of those arrested in High Wycombe was named last night as convert Umar Islam, 28 — who had been formerly known as Brian Young."
