    Bloody hell. Terrorists attempting to blow up several flights between the UK and USA in midflight with catastrophic loss of life.
    At 2am MI5 swooped and arrested several people involved in the plot.
    All UK Airports on 'CRITICAL' alert and no hand luggage allowed on any aircraft on any flight.
    Heathrow - all check in desks closed and people being sent home.
    All airports in chaos apparently.

    Hardly surprising. It is what Muslims are good at, taking needless life. Don't concentrate on those causing you harm, just kill anyone else.

    My kids are in Florida with their Mother and due to fly back this week. Then we are due to fly out to Spain next week.</p>

    I don't really care about Florida or Spain. I just want them to be home.</p>

    Quite nerve wracking sitting here not being able to do anything</p>

    Didn't really enjoy tube this morning after hearing about that on the news...

    Well done to the government, police and the secret service though, seems they've foiled a big one. </p>

    Just goes to show they do a very good job, despite what some people say.</p>

    Reading the report

    It does say that it is thought the police do not believe that any attack is imminent but that this is just in case there is a "sub-plot".

    I reckon by the weekend security will be getting back to normal.

    Apparently they have been tracking this group for several months and rounded them up this morning at 2am.
    Airport security is on critical and this critical level is now being extended to Transport in and around London.

    It will be interesting to see what happens

    Hopefully, no loss of life but this will test the relevant authorities to the limit.

    Rubbish ,

    so when we all get barcoded and have tracking devices fitted you will be more than happy with that.</p>

    When they "prevent" attacks they are doing their job correctly.

    Thus I am not that interested.</p>

    However its when the fail to do their job correctly that I get concerned.</p>

    Do you think they should err on the side of caution?

    RE: Rubbish ,

    You always feel unsafe after such an announcement. But it doesn't mean that we're all going to be monitored 24/7 like you seem to be saying.</p>

    I presume you are referring to identity cards?</p>

    Agree Harrow Tyke

    All travellers will feel unnerved after the announcement this morning. It's certainly put the wind up me and my 13 hour imminent flight.
    Plus where I am travelling to, a suicide bomber blew himself and several others up a couple of days ago. We have already been informed that the country has declared a state of emergency.
    Lovely! and all I ever wanted to do was laze about in my beloved Crete with my books as I do every summer.
    I must be mad opting for this instead.

    Well done to the security services for foiling this, and to those passengers I've seen on news this morning who are taking the delays well and not complaining.

    Glad I'm not flying in the next few days - not because of the threat but because of the delays etc
