Terror Plot

Hand Luggage Not Allowed on Police Advice

I'm sitting here wondering how the Hell business travelers are going to manage with out laptops, and how the Hell people are supposed to go about their business when they travel, with this sort of thing going on. People already have too many hassles in traveling.
In the last hour the Threat Level has gone from Orange to Red. Apparently the specific explosive matierials can be liquid or a foam that visually resembles shaving cream, and worse yet, neither are easy to detect with the usual means of detecting explosives.
There has been more on NPR, apparently nail polish remover and hydrogen peroxide are among the possible ingrediants for this liquid explosives, and apparently nitro-glycerin which is volatile but easily concealed. Of course the ban on liquids includes things people may have purchased in the SECURE area of the airport, and that is causing understandable resentments.
