Maybe you’d rather walk (or swim) today

Air Travel between Europe and North America is about to get a whole lot more complicated, thanks to today’s arrests of eighteen would be plotters to bomb trans-Atlantic flights between England and the USA.

A Breaking story out of England had the terror rating heading to critical and delays expected to be leading toward aviation chaos, as extremely strict travel guidelines were put in place to tackle a new form of terrorism previously not expected.

Flights from other European cities were being cancelled between the continent and London, as authorities tried to get a handle on what it is they are facing as far as a threat goes.

Reports from British news sources have it that liquid explosives were being planned to be put in use, to blow a number of planes out of the skies en route to America.

The initial announcement and follow up scares have begun to cause havoc with air travel between European cities and London and England and North America.

British residents hoping to catch a plane face a strict list of rules today if they wish to board a flight.

American Airline officials have become so alarmed at the developments, that the US has banned any liquids from any commercial flights and no carry on hand baggage will be allowed for those flights that manage to get take off clearance.

It’s all going to make for some pretty tense and frustrating times for the worlds travelers, as the terror fears get ratcheted up once again in our troubled little world.
