*From a colleague with ATC experience*

Gentlemen,

I would imagine that the think tanks of an international terrorist organisation retrive details about targets and operational areas via sources other than this poncy mailing list.

If you really believe that not talking about the 'top-secret' (note the sarcasm)information on the London air-space laws will help prevent an attack, you are more naive than the US airport authority that still will not x-ray passenger baggage.

Following 30 years of terrorist activity (ie. IRA), UK airspace is the among the most protected in the world. To keep it that way, we must be calm and rational. Super Stall and QUERY seem to be in a state of blind panic, perhaps a few months out of the pilot seat might be helpful, guys, you know, just to relax a little.

Regards and Happy Flying

John W Henry
