Terror Plot Stopped On UK Airplanes :{
virtuoso:
Forgive my cynicism but wasnt the great chicago terror plot nothing more than a couple of retards sounding off? and the so called plot to blow up the underground train network in america also very flimsy shall we say? also wasnt there a small matter of a dirty bomb in forest gate which turned out to be non existent? don't you think you are falling for the same trap again by taking this at face value im going to hold off and wait for more information to emerge first.

Remember July 7th? That didn't turn out to be an innocent bunch of backpackers. Better safe than sorry.
The Forest Gate thing was a complete fuck-up by the police tho, at least this time they're talking about actual evidence gathered from surveillence.

The 7th of July is shrouded in murkiness and contradictions, too much of what happened doesnt add up but yes your right the actual actions themselves were horrific. Digital my previous post was really related to the reaction of people automatically assuming that this was a genuine threat, I just think until all of the details emerge that the tendency to assume that this is what it is being hyped as should perhaps be tempered.

Don't worry I know what you mean; there's always a tendency for knee-jerk reactions when things like this happen. But this still appears to be result of weeks of surveillance.
Funnily there was talk on the news two nights ago about MI5 being overstretched and unable to monitor all the terror suspects in the UK and suddenly this happens overnight. Oh and guess what, hardly a single mention about Israel's push into Southern Lebanon on the news this morning.
Don Rizzle:
i'd rather the security services were over cautious with things like these because of the potential threat our lives, they could be wrong but they could also be right either way it needs to be fully investigated and not instantly distmissed
