'Plot to blow up planes' foiled

A major terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight is disrupted by police, Scotland Yard says.

While I am glad that the plot has been foiled (and hopeful that it doesn't turn out to be another false alarm like the one that triggered the raids in London earlier this year), I have to be concerned by the government's knee jerk reaction to this. Expect to see further inroads into human rights in the UK soon. Remember, once the government has taken away rights, it will be loathed to give them back!
