Welcome to the "club", even though it has gotten much worse.
Ironically, the US security directors still feel like too much metal while walking through the detector is a bad thing-therefore, most passengers still feel required to take their shoes off. Maybe this has improved in the three days since I last flew.
How about catering crews-are they still supplying trays of Pepsi, Cranapple and my favorite Mountain Dew to the planes' galleys?
Your English intelligence people, New Scotland Yard and others, did a superb job. I wonder whether US intelligence could have discovered such a plot, at least after 9-11? Our agencies supposedly share data-or at least we are led to believe this is so.
We should also all be grateful to the Pakistani police forces.
