Just curious, like.
Anyway, imagine having an 8-12 flight without a book (or magazine for you MTV types). Surely thats a human rights violation?
Maybe not...

The explosive used was liquid nitroglycerin, which was disguised as a bottle of contact lens fluid. The wires he used were hidden in the heel of his shoe. At that time, metal detectors used in airports did not go down far enough to detect anything there."

Home I guess. They'd just come from Watford where they played a friendly on Tuesday night gone. It finished 1-1 as it happened.Quote:

-no links (financial etc) to any terror groups
the CIA put pressure on MI5 to break this ring up after a relative of one was arrested in Pakistan. does this whole debacle prove torture doesnt work as the victim will cough up any old crap? the most expensive hoax in history?
I think Michael O'Leary was asking if there is a big serious threat of liquid bombs
etc why are drinks etc not being banned on trains/undergrounds/buses when
there there would also be large crowds of people.
Although Bush seems to be implying that its an attack on America, as it was
American bound flights that were targeted.
A Pakistani woman boarding a flight in West Virgina is being detained, because two bottles of liquid she was carrying tested positive for explosives! It's amazing that this eagle eyed airport screener in the arsehole of no-where is suddenly an expert on liquid explosives. I'm sure the US Air Force is being scrambled as we speak and a F16 fighter is going to release a smart bomb from five miles away and blow the sh*te out of two Lucozade bottles!:rolleyes:

Well if you are going to be pedantic you could say a bottle of Vodka is a liquid explosive.
Pencils were prohibited by UN sanctions on Iraq as if you have enough lead you can use it as a bomb making componant. Thats an awful lot of pencils though.
