LONDON - British authorities thwarted a terrorist plot to blow up
several aircraft mid-flight between the United States and Britain
using explosives smuggled in hand luggage, officials said Thursday.
The British Department of Transport advised all passengers that they
would not be permitted to carry any hand baggage on board any aircraft
departing from any airport in the country.
"I'm terrified really, I'm really scared," said Sarah Challiner, 20,
who was waiting to board a flight from Manchester's airport.
Hannah Pillinger, 24, seemed less concerned by the announcement.
"Eight hours without an iPod, that's the most inconvenient thing," she
said, waiting at the Manchester airport.
