Well the shit has hit the fan with airline travel.
Overnight there were numerous arrests in the UK of terrorists in connection with a plot to blow up as many as 20 flights!
The UK has shut down Heathrow for the moment except for flights currently in the air. For outgoing flights the security restrictions are hardcore; no purses, handbags, etc. Money, credit cards, travel docs, and essential meds must be carried in clear plastic bags!
The US has raised the terror alert to Orange for all domestic flights and RED for all international flights. ALL liquids are banned from carry on luggage. The US has only gone as far as banning all liquids but there is a possibility that the security measures could be strenghten!
So why am I awake, well I told my sister I would drive her & her bf to the airport so she could go to the DR tomorrow (this morning) at 6am. I was just about to go to sleep a few hours ago when I turned to CNN, all the major news channels have been broadcasting this development non-stop. So I figure I will wake her about two hours early (in 15 mins) and tell her she needs to get there way early!
Good luck to all those traveling in the next few days!
