Of course someone will always say that, but isn't it better than a huge attack resulting in many many deaths to instill more fear and "justify" a greater reduction in your personal liberties?
They should hang all the suspeced terrorist in this country. Since hanging is still allowed in britain for execution purposes.

He also said the plan "revolved around liquids of some kind".
"Officials say the explosives would have been sophisticated and extremely effective," our correspondent said.
A senior U.S. congressional source said it is believed the plotters were to carry a "British version of Gatorade" onto the planes and then mix it with a gel-like substance. The explosives were to be triggered by an iPod or a cell phone, the source said.
So where's the evidence? Where's the positive affirmation of... anything?Police believe that the plot involved liquid chemical devices.

They believe this and that, but they can't say for sure?
What are the names of these arrested people?
The physical evidence gathering as only just begun. The surveillance of these individuals was conducted over an eight month period.
yeah, that's a good way to kill thousands of innocent civilians! :|
So if that's how it is over there, it's not difficult to believe their surveillance is so thorough. My main concern originally was how they came about to be watching over these people. It seems to happen magically, because over here it is pretty difficult ot keep tabs on people.lhopp77 said:I think this would be a nice time to point out some differences between our individual rights and those in England. To search our houses the police have to go to the judge with a good case of "probable cause" in order to get a warrant. In England--they only have to go to the with a "reasonable suspicion" in order to get a search warrant. Wiretaps are much simpler also. AND--the British intelligence agency (MI5) can operate legally in country while our CIA can only operate overseas. The bottom line in this is that MI5 and Scotland Yard are essentially in bed with each other domestically. While we (prior to Patriot Act) built a wall between the CIA and the FBI.
The advantages of the British system in the war on terror should be obvious.

US sources claimed last night that substantial sums of money had been wired from Pakistan to two of the alleged ringleaders
Co-ordinated arrests were also made in Pakistan, including the detention of figures in the militant group Lashkar-i-Taiba.

Ive read parts of it & reads more like someone's life story that a message, lol
Has there actually been any information on the people arrested, or of the bombs they were going to use?
You get kudos for hitting all the nails right on their heads, and a bonus x2 multiplier for saying 'allah akhbar' to that guy.Wow. I was flying that very day, from Gatwick to Glasgow, and let me tell you the airports were ****ing bedlam. Wasn't even allowed a book to read, had to buy a magazine once I was through. Said "Allah Akbar" to the security man and my dad, acting all self-righteous and indignant at being searched, had forgotten that he had a penknife in his pocket.
It was only from the taxi driver who took us to the train station at the end of the trip that we found out the exact nature of the security alert.
I'm glad, and impressed, that the police/whoever have managed to stop the 'plot'. The strong security presence was certainly reassuring.
But on the other hand, I'm skeptical. First there was the shooting of an innocent man after 7/7. Then those two brothers were pulled out of their houses a few months ago - but there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute them. Are our 'guardians' wrong again this time? Only time (28 days?) will tell, but having only authority's word for it I'm reserving judgement, both on the supposed terrorists and on the counter-terrorists - and their abilities - who caught them.
No other evidence. For all I know they could have arrested 20 random people. As unlikely as that seems, it's not a possibility I'm willing to dismiss out of hand - same goes for the possibility of the whole thing being a mistake. If there really was some huge plot, then kudos to the people who foiled it.
