Not sure if any of you have heard of this...but a plot was just uncovered for plane bombs heading from UK to U.S. .... I don't have much details yet, but will follow up.

Yah, I heard this, this morning. Something about not allowing any kind of liquid soap and stuff like that in carryon luggage on planes cause they were using that to smuggle stuff on board. They mentioned that Al Quaida group in what I heard. Elaborate if anyone knows anything else about this.

Yeah, it was on the news this morning. They were saying that it was thought to be liquid-based binary explosives. As a result, our airport in Toronto has temporarily banned ALL liquids in carry-on luggage... except infant formula, but that must be tasted by the passenger before boarding. (hope nobody's flying with pumped breast milk)

Wow...If any of you are travelling...you may want to keep updated on the news! They are now saying to be at the airport 2-3 hours beforehand for domestic and 3-4 hours for international. There are obviously new rules about what you can bring as carry-ons now too.

Kind of glad I am not planning any travel anytime soon. Remember the last time they implemented new rules? Took a long time for all the lines to die down.

Increased Aviation Screening Procedures:

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is implementing a series of security measures, some visible and some not visible, to ensure the security of the traveling public and the nation's transportation system.

NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED IN CARRY-ON BAGGAGE. SUCH ITEMS MUST BE IN CHECKED BAGGAGE.

This includes all beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency

Exceptions: Baby formula and medicines, which must be presented for inspection at the checkpoint.

Beverages purchased in the boarding area, beyond the checkpoint, must be consumed before boarding because they will not be permitted onboard the aircraft.

Passengers traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States will be subject to a more extensive screening process.

These measures will be constantly evaluated and updated as circumstances warrant.

How every passenger can assist in security:

Pack lightly, without clutter to facilitate easier screening
Arrive earlier than usual at the airport
Cooperate with TSA personnel at checkpoints and with airline personnel at all gates
Be attentive and vigilant to any suspicious activity and report it to authorities
Increased Border Protection Procedures:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will increase enforcement efforts in international arrival areas including the use of advanced targeting tools, special response teams including baggage and aircraft search teams, baggage x-ray equipment, specially-trained canine units, and explosive detection technology.

DHS has also mandated that all flights from the United Kingdom transmit passenger manifest information for intensive screening prior to departure from the gate. In addition, passengers on these flights and all other international flights will be subject to heightened inspection upon arrival in the United States.
