Meanwhile in England...

...British police on Thursday arrested a number of people plotting to blow up a plane mid-flight traveling from England to the United States.

"A major terrorist plot to allegedly blow up aircraft in mid-flight has been disrupted in a joint, pre-planned, intelligence-led operation by the metropolitan police anti-terrorist branch and security services."

Given recent events, it seems sensible to feel slightly uneasy about the fifth anniversary of 9/11 a few weeks hence.
