well, if anyone suceeds in traveling today - I'd love to here confirmation that you can bring laptops, cellphones, etc.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think the British government is hiding the truth because they don't think the average person can handle it. The danger is not, in fact, liquid versions of chemicals that can be combined into explodey mayhem -- the actual danger is....

See, with me? This would be the first thing that gets blowed up.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll just say the timing is interesting. Yesterday's headline -- Lieberman loses primary; stance on war in Iraq blamed. Today's headline -- Terror threat in the skies.
I'll suspend judgment on why. But an interesting coincidence.

Asking for a little travel ~ma. We are supposed to leave LAX for London tomorrow evening. Not too worried because we are on a British carrier who is committed to getting all their flights out, but a little patented Buffista ~ma would be great. (also a little, no stolen iPod ~ma as we will have to check our hand luggage in London for the transfer flight to Leeds)

to quote a friend form the coffee shop - " I don't belive in conspiracy theories - except one - feed the paranoia monster"
Though if you ask me - finding a ohter threat - but not catching it before just before it gets on a plane- tells me George and his buddies aren't doing a very good job.

Aw geez, Dawn. You get to carryon from LAX to London, though?
edit: That came out punny. Not my intent, but either case works!

Yeah and that's the good thing, on the long part of the flight the kids will have their carry on stuff to keep them busy. We have a 5 hour layover at Heathrow, which we were going to use to pop into London proper and do some sightseeing but now? Not so much. It'll probably take almost all that time to get though customs and security. Oh well, we've been to London a ton of times so we aren't missing any thing. Thankfully the flight from London to Leeds is only about an hour or so.
EtA: Not relishing the thought of getting physically searched at Heathrow... Hands! Hands in new places! (Sara you made me chuckle with punny)

FWIW, I got this now, w/r/t the unclear email about laptops, etc.:
I am being informed that the last paragraph of the e-mail below is for flights departing out of the UK
