Good work (presumably) from Scotland Yard.

I am surprised there have not been any follow ups from the 7/7 bombings.

".....an attack is expected imminently and indicates an extremely high level of threat to the UK".

 

[Berk (of 'Trapdoor' fame)]

On the BBC it said to expect delays of up to 5 hours.......nothing new there then.

I'm off to Prague in 20 minutes on a stag do flying from Gatwick. I imagine we'll be held up for quite some time.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Good work - good to see our Police follow up leads unlike the Yanks who had been warned about 9/11

Im assuming our flight has been cancelled as well. We're flying with easyjet and they are always one of the first to cancel.

I would imagine most are cancelling mate.
No one allowed any hand luggage

Liquid explosive that cannot be picked up on x-ray apparently

All british passport holders who were arrested

Heathrow now closed for all incoming flights, except those already in the air.

Looks like Dies Irae may be having an extended holiday (if he's flying)

Got to be a very serious threat indeed for this level of clampdown to be introduced into the airline system. Good work by the security services.

BAA news conference live now on BBC News 24

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

BAA: Do not turn up for flights out of Heathrow unless absolutely necessary. If you must go, try to use public transport.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Huge list of restrictions, it'll be an absolute nightmare. No bottled liquid allowed onboard. Other liquids must be tasted by the carrying passenger.

 

[cardboard]

That sounds like a complete nightmare

no drink allowed, no handbags, no sunglasses cases

basically nothing!!!

That's what they want you to think. Don't be suprised if the Government start banging on about ID cards again.
