And now it appears that Egyptian authorities are preventing the arrival/departure of easyJet planes not already at SSH.

The BBC news just now reports easyJet saying all British airlines are being prevented from using SSH by the Egyptian authorities.
Is this some sort of Egyptian retaliation - preventing UK holiday makers from leaving?
Well... I don't doubt chatter played a major part... esp. chatter 'before' the incident that was uncharacteristic.
Then we have the crashed aircraft... the place; the Russian connection; the increasing evidence that little else than an explosion or bomb brought it down... c'mon. Things add up and ISIS sympathiser chatter likely played a major part in decision making.
