BBC NEWS | UK | 'Plot to blow up planes' foiled
Of course, the big terrorism news is about the sudden escalation in airport security in Britain.
No carry on baggage at all. Nothing in your pockets. All carry on bags to go in with checked baggage.
This would be enormously inconvenient for people with bottles of alcohol or fragile gifts in carry on bags. (I recently, somewhat foolishly, flew with a bottle of alcohol in a checked in suitcase. It did not survive, but to my surprise, Campari does not stain clothes. By the way, it's my wife's drink.)
My second thought is: just how confident would you feel that there is not a bomb in the checked in baggage. Presumably there is much less chance of an explosion in the hold causing the plane to go down, but it's not something you want to be on board to test.
