New Terrorist Situation - London
This is so retarded. If the terrorist plot had called for blowing up the baggage compartment I suppose we would all be required to carry all liquids in our carry-ons.
Is it possible to just take a boat trip anymore? I hate flying anyway.

Not only liquids, but hardly anything is allowed as carry-on, only stuff like medicine, glasses, etc, and those in transparent bags. I think this is all temporary and only for flights to and from the UK, or at least I hope it's temporary
aranoid: .I'm screwed
When I travel to the DR, I travel light, that means "NO CHECKED LUGGAGE", I love the idea of flying thru the airport and out of the doors after landing. This means that since I don't have checked luggage, I would have to buy my deodarant, contact lens solution, Cologne, lotion, toothpaste and whatever else in the DR?? This is crazy, that means I have to check-in a small carry on bag with my "wet items" and wait along with the other chumps for my little bag to come around the conveyor belt.

From what I can gather the plans were to target trans atlantic flights to the US. Flights from the UK to europe were also cancelled yesterday, 120 flights from Gatwick were cancelled today and people are being told only to fly if it was urgent. So far 24 people have been arrested but 5 others are being sought. It seems these measures are here to stay at least until tougher measures for hand luggage searches can be implemented. If people want to take baby formula on the plane an adult with them has to taste it infront of airport staff before it will be allowed on board.
The news is reporting, that the chemicals had to be mixed, and therefore had to be carried on.
I'm traveling this Sunday, so now I'm ****ed, 'cause I refuse to check my bag, I'm doing carry-on I want to be out the airport the second I land, that means I'll have to buy tooth paste, deodorant over in DR, but where the freak can I buy solution for my contacts over in puerto plata?...anyone, anyone...thanks
Is this no liquids in carry ons going to be a permanent change from now on? I thought maybe it was only for today.
Flew from SDQ to MIA to MCO to CLT today. Got tighter with each stop. The liquid ban was not in place when I took off this AM. No one is saying one way or another but this liquid ban appears as it will be temporary. That means a couple of day... or week... months?
I am just happy they foiled the plot and at least we can still bring carry-on on the plan. Not having toiletries is one thing. Having to check cameras, laptops, etc is something else.

I NEVER thought of bubble wrap!!!! very good idea..i just usualy roll my bottles of brugal in towels...but bubble wrap is brilliant.
well damn know...not only do i have to face a curfew in the DR...but if i travel there i can bring water and a spiked bottle of sprite!
they are saying that the explosives would be triggered by a cell phone...so why not just ban all cell phones!
heh...i have NO sympathy..only cuz you will be POP next week! I am sure you can find contact solution.
right now they are only allowing wallets and passports....you might just want to check a bag and save yourself a headache. Look at the time you will waste stocking up while in pop. check your back and you will probably save time on both ends
I think where this is heading is to a point where we all have to travel naked and shaved in individual see-through plexiglass cells with luggage coming in later on a seperate flight.
After all, only a terrorist would object to travelling naked and shaved.

I don't even want to get on a plane anymore because of all the BS. Does Amtrack go to southern Floida.........then I can hop onto a freighter to the DR.
Funny you talk about the airport. My friend is a supervisor for Continental in Tampa, and I talked to her today, and she told me.... I need a drink.
When I go to Brazil on a buddy pass....... that is the best security that I've ever seen, meaning Brazil. Four inspectors come on the plane, make you sit check ID, Visa, boarding pass, and then make you stand in the aisle as they break down every seat and overhead compartment, now this is after you've boarded and landed in S.P. en route to R.J. without leaving the plane. And this is a Third World country I'M talking about.I believe first world countries can do a better job..... if they pay. So the moral to the story is at least everyone is treated fair and no one slips through the cracks.
They do that same kind of checks in the airplanes in the united states but they do them at night when the airplane is being serviced.
