    Sounds like a bomb threat to me. I didn't see any context indicating that this is merely a joke.

    Exactly! If he's left a winky emoticon at the end, none of this would have happened...

    If you read "success" as "bringing about totalitarian dictatorship, in order to protect "life and liberty" then yes, I guess it has.

    Advocates of the Crown Prosecution Service, FYI. All criminal cases in the UK are Regina V. Defendant. Transgressions of criminal law are tried by representatives of the Queen, as it is her Law which has been broken.

    It was reported by a member of the public.

    The police acted on information that someone had made an internet threat to blow up an airport. Chinese Whispers anyone?

    They couldn't risk not arresting the guy. And it took a week for them to get to him (maybe a week to report the threat, the article isn't clear).

    No, just pointing out that there's no difference. It's just a guy blowing up civilians because he's unhappy with the way things are.

    The way to resolve the issue is to change Government through democratic process, not blow it up. Get the country to actually pay attention when it counts, like the last few days of a bill being passed. Poison Pill legislation is almost always inserted at the 11th hour, which is when the population should be at their most attentive. As soon as something outlandish and oppressive appears, write to your MP, get on social networking sites, explain why people should be concerned over the issue.

    Hopefully, it'll at least mitigate the possibility of more "pre-crime" legislation being implemented, at least.

    Of course they are in view of the public. What use is a deterrent nobody can see? I'm fairly sure, though, that if someone air-side reported some suspicious activity that there would be a prompt response from those very same people, resulting in a very same reaction. Putting devices in baggage on a plane is not the act of a Jihadist trying to get to his virgins, so they may have slightly more interest in self preservation.

    Good to see mod points being blown on AC's, though. It saves those with reasonable points of view which some people may disagree with from being on the end of their flawed judgment.

    The 1918 flu caused 650,000 deaths. Nobody really knows why.

    "Common cold" is a description of symptoms of infection by many, many different strains of virus. We can't cure "common cold" because there is no single pathogen to identify.

    All cold "remedies" are symptomatic relief, nothing more.
