Mrs Jagster is due to be speaking at a conference in Cincinnatti early in Sept  (Thats the US city not the Scottish poker club!   lol)

She was already saying she didnt want to go this morning!

I'm glad I'm not flying, simply because of the delays.

The threat does not put me off flying.  It never will.

I don't personally see what difference todays events make - there was a threat before today, there will continue to be a threat after today.  The threat itself won't stop me going me anywhere by any form of transport.

I agree too- the flights are probably going to be the safest they've ever been just now because of the threat

'Intelligence'? Wonder who's thesis they've ripped off this time? This is all a fabricated smokescreen to take the focus off of Israel/Lebanon IMO. I'd fly anytime anyplace, no fear.

Yea, I agree.  It is scary, but if we let these nutters control our lives, that's them won in my opinion. I will carry on as normal.  Unfortunately, they will be around for the rest of my lifetime at the very least, it is the sad reality of living in today's society. Unfortunately a peaceful life is not the case anymore.

We're just LUCKY we happen to live here. We can talk about a peaceful life but there's always a war going on somewhere and the poor buggers who pay the price have had eff all to do with creating the chaos.

Tis a bit. Sickens me to think of all the civilians gettin blown to bits and all the soldiers returning home  minus their limbs for no good reason. Safe journey when you do make your flight. Smiley

If the 9/11 or 7/7 bombers had been apprehended in the days leading up to the attacks some people would have been jumping up and down and saying how wrong it was blah blah blah. It seems the only proof acceptable to these people is actual video footage of the terrorists  doing the job but by then they already blame someone for not stopping them. Never anything to help stop it or help it not happen again.

I`m just back from glasgow airport where i was put through the security wringer and then on and off the red aye to heathrow after 2 hours of waiting from 5.30 this morning

no hand luggage , only allowed wallet and change. which was daft cos then you went into wh smith bought a book and took it on the plane...

mobiles, books, papers, keys all had to go hand luggage and be checked in...que the scrummage at the conveyor belt getting it back...although i had to laugh at all the identical dell hand luggage going round the carousel...best of luck there folks.

cant stand london for work anyway so i`m not too unhappy....although BA were keech at information.
