Posts: 1,836I was up way too late last night and just got myself to turn on the tv now to see a few of the morning shows. Every news channel is discussing a terrorist plot from the UK to US that is affecting air travel. My thoughts went to all of the wonderful artists traveling for shows and how this is such an evil and unnecessary wrench in their happy works. I hope that all arrive safely and that baggage and precious teddy cargo isn't held up.
No liquids/gels of any kind are being permitted on flights (I think liquid prescription meds are the only thing eventually getting by). My dad is traveling for business in Florida right now and will have to fed ex all of his toiletries home (he'd never just throw them away and start over!)
Everyone take care, be well and stay safe

Apple Dumpling DesignsIt is very frightening. My ex travels extensively overseas and I've always had this terrible fear that something would happen to him. It's more than just a fear of flying...it's like a deep down I know it will eventually happen feeling...hard to explain.. As much as he annoys, irritates and down right pisses me off on a regular basis, I would be devastated if something were to happen to him and my children would be without their father.
We live is a very sad world right now...
Everyone be safe...
Sad world is right. <sigh> I wonder where compassion and humanity have gone, sometimes. They can be found... but in fewer places, and felt less depthfully, than you might think would be the case in the year 2006.
Keep safe, all.
This will really affect the San Diego Show this weekend! A lot of European and Asian artists usually are there. Judi, allow at least two hours to check in! I'm flying to the Washington D.C. Teddy Bear Expo next weekend, I can imagine the security on that flight 
TBAI is also next weekend. Everybody take care and remember, no liquids or gels allowed in carry-ons. In Europe I don't think they're even allowing carry-ons at all?

West Sussex, EnglandYes, this is the main news topic here. Gatwick airport which is close to us has been badly affected with most flights today being cancelled. This of course has a knock on effect over the next few days and traffic is chaotic as people are trying to get to the airport early to find out if their flight is affected.
No hand luggage is allowed except money, medicine etc but it has to go in a clear bag like a sandwich bag.
We have flights booked to Portugal on Tuesday so we will have to monitor the situation. I also hear that there have been 20 related arrests in the UK today so I'll watch the 10 o clock news to hear the latest.
My thoughts are with anyone stranded due to the flight cancellations.

OxfordOh dear! I will be flying to UK next month..I better keep myself update on this.
A sad world indeed 
So sad how the world has become in the past years...terrorist attacks or attempt attacks seem to be quite often. 
Beary hugs

Bumpkin BearsIt is very worrying and frightening, my fiancee and I are going to the UK tomorrow! Luckily we chose to travel on Eurotunnel rather than flying so I hope that it will all go smoothly. Be safe everyone,

Chowlea BearsI had a thought ( I get them occasionally..... :doh: ) that perhaps now is a good time to fly with all the extra security and everyone being so diligent and aware? There will be no complacency at the moment will there. Perhaps the extra time taken is a good trade-off?
I just wondered...............
