Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties

This is some pretty freaky shit to wake up to this morning. And with the delays it's going to cause at the airline it's going to get people edgy again.

I have to say, I feel much better waking up to raised alerts and suspects with exsplosives arrested opposed to seeing another plane being taken down.

I am glad I am not flying right now! One of my guys was supposed to come back today, but he got done early and flew back last night.

God damn!!! I just heard this on CNN when I got off work like 10 mins ago! With all this shit going on with foiled plots and the Hezbollah/Israeli War, I might have to reconsider moving to the Czech Republic in October :(

WTF? How can a billion people worldwide give enough of a shit about 20 assholes trying to blow themselves up on a plane that it actually affects the economy.

Greeeat. I was supposed to being flying out to Texas... :(

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

My guy actually didn't get out last night. He flew out this morning. It wasn't any big deal, he just had to check his luggage that had his shampoo, toothpaste, etc. You also have to throw away any drinks you have in your carry on.

In a month?!? People get too worked up over nothing, its not like they are shutting down airports and canceling a mass amount of flights (not to mention, this happened in the UK, not US).

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

OK good.

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

Actually they are ;)

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

Haha, even if they are, they won't be a month from now! Its not like the airline industry is going to shut-down completely for good.

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about getting attacked on the flight down there

You have a better chance of a car driving through your house tonight. I'm with CVD on this one....people get so worked up which is exactly what the terrorists want!

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

Ok. I got ya.

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

There's nothing south of here to fly into that would be worth jacking a plane for. Dont worry unless you're flying near a real city.

I'm with the Chris' on this.

Re: Air travel alert high: U.S. suspects al Qaeda ties
 

Ok. maybe im wrong here, but isnt oil dropping in price a good thing? If this is true, then it just makes up for the damn alaskan pipes having to be shut down.

Tauni, are you freaking serious? You are now scared that you are going to get attacked on an airplane?

Oh, and did I mention quit leaving those annoying frown faces after your posts!!
