Plot to blow up planes disrupted

Acording to the BBC this morning, a terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight from the UK to the US has been disrupted.

Aside from the terror and death averted, the news is filled with the annoying fact that hand luggage is no longer allowed on planes. Save for a few essentials which must be in a clear bag, you can't take owt on. Thank fuck we're going next week and have time to organise themselves. Those flying today must be all over the place, physically, mentally and emotionally.

C doesn't even know the news yet, since she left for work at 6.30am and didn't switch the telly on while getting herself ready. Not sure she'll take it very well. Still, not a lot we can do about it other than prepare for it.
