A terrorist group (not sure who) were planning to destroy 9 aircraft bound for the US. If the British had not been on the ball...there would likely be bodies strewn all over the ocean.

Turn on the TV...its on every channel.

A good job of intelligence gathering and a TIMELY warning.

Congrats to our cousins across the pond and a BIG THANK YOU!

Bill

no thanks necessary, were all in this together.

regards.

In it together? No doubt!!!

But I still say thanks!!!!!!!!!! It is deserved.

Thanks indeed!:rock:

I concur; thanks to the vigilance of U.K. airport security, many more American than English lives have been saved.

I wish I had this type of confidence in our Transportation Security Administration. I don't know about other U.S. airports, but Los Angeles International's outbound security is a freaking joke. Last overseas flight I took, they were still searching checked luggage by hand while the MRI machines stood idle. (Boy I'm sure glad they only paid $80,000 each for those things... they look so nice!)

As I understand it, the bombers wanted the airliners to crash into densely populated areas. It would have been quite a carnage. The explosive they wanted to use was a type made popular by Palestinian suicide bombers. It's touchy as all hell, but can be made using readily available materials.

My hat's off to our friends in the UK. Good friends ... good people ... stout hearts. It's a blessing.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm more federal restrictions, my favorite!

Congats and thanks to Scotland Yard, MI5, and MI6 for a job well done. The British security services have always been true champions!

Remember, the UK has one of the best (and during WWII the best) intel!:goodjob:
