This is some high tech shit they tried, we are lucky they were caught.

GOOOOOOOOO England!

yes, lol

An interesting article on liquid explosives. Kind of worrying to see how easily it can be done.

They said they were using sports drinks and something else. If they government is this smart in finding all these terrorists before attacks happen, where was all this pre-9/11?

That is fucked up!

It was British intelligence that stopped the attacks. I wonder what would've happened had the terrorists targeted US domestic flights like before...

Ummm I don't know but it seems like a lot of terrorists stem from our partner across the seas.

If it was US domestic they would've foiled it as well....

If this wasn't foiled outside the airports, no way it would've been caught and this would've been executed seamlessly...Heathrow airport has some of the worst security for one of Englands biggest airports.

Judging on the number of times I've flown to and from the US since 9/11, I think they would've gotten away with it.

I've had them ask me to take of my shoes but not my bobble hat or jacket. I've had them check my carry-on luggage but not my big bags. I've had them check my big bags but not my carry-on.

Sometimes they don't even check any of your luggage at all, some people just get to walk right through without anything happening to them.

Each time I've entered the UK/Scotland they check all of my bags (manually going through them, asking me open compartments, gifts in boxes etc), they check my shoes, my jacket, my hat, x-ray it all, wand me, the whole nine-yards.

If another terrorist attack happens in this country aimed at airports or planes then they'll only have themselves (government/airports/airlines) to blame. Will they take the blame though?

Of course not.

They didn't catch these guys boarding the planes, they were going to do it in a few days.

Read my above point, but if Heathrow's security is some of the worst in the world, then the security in St. Loius, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, DC, LA and San Francisco is ten times worse.

[quotef0e2f60d8b="Wolfeman"]Fucking terrorists...[/quotef0e2f60d8b]

I think security is pretty good right now. Everytime I fly (which is a lot because of college) I've had my checked in luggage searched.

I don't know how someone can be sure that a US domestic plot would've been foiled, you must be a genius or psychic of some kind.

Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that US airport security still sucks (google it). The same number of guns/knives still get through, according to tests they've done.

People tend to forget (or be totally ignorant) that UK/Europeans have plenty of experience with terrorists.

That was not my experience for it at all....In fact complete opposite, I always get checked in the US but breeze on through in Europe...weird ?

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, and I personally have nothing against Muslims, I know several, but that's beside the point.

We need to profile. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims.

I'd have to disagree.

I think you'd be hard-pushed to find a Muslim in the IRA and look at the terror that they've enacted over the last 20-30 years.

How exactly do you differentiate between a Muslim and a Christian?

Chechnyans are white and Muslim and have been know to be terrorists. What you mean to say is profile Arabs which is wrong...

More like

We had our fill of all different types of terrorists of different religons.

Not too much. One believes in Jesus as the Son of God, one doesnt.
One believes that God is 3 in 1. The other believes God is 1 and only.

One Believes in the Qur'an, the other the Bible.

Those are the majors.

Wrong in what way? In some moral sense? What is immoral about best utilizing your resources?

Terrorists rely on using our insane liberal institutions and crazy left-wing notions to cripple our ability to defend ourselves, and you exemplify this.

But when does it change from "protecting freedom" to dictatorship? A Christian, white, American, former Army soldier blew up a federal building in the heartland and after 9/11 is the worst terrorist attack on our soil. Don't forget terrorists aren't just Arabs...

its a scary thought to think that high explosives can be made so easily...the world just got a little more dangerous...o
