  • I'm pretty sure British Airways is on that list too.

     I read something about that m'dear. The Brits have a list of airports too but it isn't exactly the same as the list of countries for the US . Of course the terrorist attack near Parliament on Wednesday will make things much tighter for them as well as the rest of us. I don't know if the world is now in for constant continued terrorist  attacks in selected spots. I guess we'll find out. Sadly. Thank you for your reply Yogafan.  Do you travel by air much?

  • I'm afraid things will only be tighter for a while, there will be lots of pretty speeches but nothing seems to change.  I do think we are in for constant attacks, I heard that in Antwerp an attack was just foiled, the police stopped a car carrying explosives and weapons headed for the busiest shopping area.

    I do travel quite a lot between here and the UK and I have to be honest that I always scrutinize the other passengers before I get on the plane.

    Oh dear. Okey dokey then. I shall keep you in my thoughts and surround you with protective covering. But sometimes the "nicest" people can be the most dangerous. I expect if you travel a lot you are pretty good at sizing people up! Thank you for your reply Yogafan! :)
