Damn Terrorists Messing Up My Hair

[ICI Authors]

Yeh you heard me, the Terrorists are now messing up my hair. Its all over the news of big terrorist plot breakup over in the UK today. 21 suspects caught.

Here's a blip:
Airports across the UK were thrown into chaos after the government imposed immediate hand luggage restrictions and extra security checks in the wake of Thursday’s major anti-terrorist operation.

The ban on all but essential hand luggage caused long delays at London Heathrow and other leading UK airports, prompting hundreds of flight cancellations by European airlines.

British Airways said it had cancelled all short-haul flights to and from Heathrow Airport for the whole of the day. It added that some flights to and from Gatwick would be cancelled and that long-haul flights would be subject to delay.

The Department for Transport advised passengers to stay at home unless their journeys were essential.

BAA said it had asked airlines to temporarily halt all in-bound flights from Europe. The airport operator later lifted restrictions and warned of severe delays.

Lufthansa, Iberia and Olympic cancelled flights to the UK, and there were no flights from Brussels to London. Air France grounded all flights from Paris to Heathrow until congestion problems eased.

More air mashalls are going to be put on the US-UK routes now, but more importantly, people can't bring carry on luggage anymore? WTF?! So I was considering a European trip this summer and with the current rules of no carry on luggage how can one arrive with styled hair after a 8-9 hour flight?

If I can't bring my hair mousse on board, the terrorists win.

In all seriousness, I don't see how the TSA/Airlines can keep up this idea for long.

i flew out of brussels to toronto on aug 9 - our flight was delayed for conflicting reasons - first, trouble in uk airspace, then french airspace. i had no idea what was happening until the next day.

I heard all flights from Belgium to LHR were canceled. They got beef with the Belgians. Too much competition with Orval.
