BA = Fedex?
After Scotland yard uncovered a plot to blow up more airplanes, the UK government has reevaluated what you can bring on flights leaving from airports in the UK. You could make a mint sending everything via FedEx and shipping the passengers naked.
Follow-up - the TSA has imposed similar restrictions including no beverages. I second Bruce Schneier’s feelings: I’m glad I’m not planning on flying anywhere anytime soon. This is pure craziness - if we can’t fly because our government is paranoid then I’m pretty sure any eager terrorists have successfully accomplished their goal of terrorizing us.
I’m fairly comfortable claming that my displeasure with the thought of being blown up in an airplane equals that of most people. Thanks to the propensity of our government to overreact I am at least temporarily saved from this possibility. The American and UK governments have reduced the casualty risk by at least one. Short Delta, AA - long Amtrak.
