Danger! That Soda May Pop

According to reports by the BBC, The latest terrorist scare involves the breakup by the British of "A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit 'mass murder on an unimaginable scale' has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said."

MSNBC has reported:

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said there was no indication of plotting in the United States but said officials cannot assume that the terror operation in Britain had been completely thwarted.

The administration raised the threat level for flights from Britain to “red,” designating a severe risk of terrorist attacks. All other flights, including all domestic flights in the United States, were put under an “orange,” alert — one step below the highest level.

Chertoff also said the alleged plot was “suggestive of an al-Qaida plot.”

While we applaud the work of everyone trying to keep us safe, we've got to wonder what additional rights the current administration will take away from the American people.
