UK foils aircraft terror plot
Terrorists sure got balls... I'm curious how they expected to get the explosives on the planes? Last time I flew, I was given a hard time because I had nose hair trimmers in my carry-on.

My boy AYHJA wins the prize.
this is nothing,.. a pat on the back.
I feel that what happened is the british muslim (would be) terrorists contacted some people and were put on this "mission" unofficially. They were told this was because contact with the "cell" would expose them. They worked being monitored, but not to their knowledge.
They were a diversion. I FEEL that in my bones.

Dude how fast is your nose hair actually growing? Trimmin it up before you leave was not gonna keep your shit from lookin like you had just done a line of pubes?

What if I told you that they were headed to Boston and had tickets to fenway, would you feel better?

Yikes... CNN's Breaking News headline reads: London police confirm 24 terror plot suspects now in custody.

Agent infiltrated terror cell, U.S. says
"A senior congressional source said it is believed the plotters planned to mix a British sports drink with a gel-like substance to make a potent explosive that could be ignited with an MP3 player or cell phone.
The sports drink could be combined with a peroxide-based paste to form a potent "explosive cocktail," if properly done, said a U.S. counterterrorism official."
They're definitely getting creative... :?
I don't know... This seems too large to be a diversion to me...
