"Europe raps US security requirements for airports" by Julia Werdigier, New York Times / October 28, 2010
LONDON — Several European officials questioned American requirements for airport security yesterday, a day after the chairman of British Airways accused Britain of bowing too quickly to Washington’s demands.
The chairman, Martin Broughton, said at a conference Tuesday that Britain should not “kowtow to the Americans every time they wanted something done’’ with aviation security procedures.
Especially irritating, Broughton said, according to The Financial Times, was the requirement that passengers take off their shoes and remove laptops from their luggage during security checks. The practice should be abandoned, he said. A representative for British Airways confirmed that he made the remarks.
The complaints added to the discontent and frustration among passengers, airlines, and airport operators in Europe over the ever-changing safety requirements and the long wait times at security-screening points in airports. Executives from other carriers and airports echoed the criticisms from British Airways.
Some airlines have repeatedly called for more sophisticated scanning machines to replace procedural safety measures such as requiring passengers to pack liquids separately....
A representative for the Department for Transport in Britain added that the coalition government was reviewing its airport security regulations and considering whether to give airport operators more flexibility in how they meet certain security goals.
The European Commission also criticized air security measures for entry to the United States, saying that a so-called Electronic System for Travel Authorization was impeding travel, difficult to comply with, and was raising a possible threat to privacy.
Then DON'T COME HERE!
Make AmeriKan business SCREAM and maybe this BULLS*** will STOP!
The system requires European passengers to register before traveling to the United States.

"It still wasn’t clear whether the bombs, which officials said were wired to cellphones, timers, and power supplies, could have been detonated remotely while the planes were in the air, or when the packages were halfway around the world in the United States.
But the fact that they made it onto airplanes showed that nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, terrorists continue to probe and find security vulnerabilities....

"Thousands flee Al Qaeda battle in Yemen" by Associated Press / September 21, 2010
SANA, Yemen — Thousands of people have fled a village in southern Yemen where security forces are laying siege to Al Qaeda militants, a security official said yesterday, signaling an escalation in the government’s US-backed campaign to uproot the terror network’s local offshoot.
One family fleeing Hawta said government forces have shelled the village indiscriminately for the past two days to flush out the militants. Troops also fired on vehicles of residents fleeing the village and a nearby city, Lawder, killing two civilians, according to local authorities and medical officials.
And NOT a PEEP from the U.S.
I guess it is OKAY to MOW DOWN MUSLIMS for no good reason!
Hawta is in Yemen’s mountainous Shabwa Province, one of the areas where Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has become established beyond the reach of a weak central government.
Yeah, well, which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"
Or the "Al-CIA-Duh" CREATION for the COURTROOM!?
The United States is deeply concerned about the threat. The group claimed responsibility for the attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas, linking the plot to Yemen’s cooperation with the US military in strikes on Al Qaeda targets.
The United States has shared intelligence and provided funds and training to Yemeni forces.

Officials: U.S. Army Told of Hasan's Contacts with al Qaeda
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with an individual associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.Officials: U.S. Army Told of Hasan's Contacts with al Qaeda
".... one of the "Al Qaeda" operatives Hasan may have been in contact with was Yousef al-Khattab, aka Joseph Cohen. The Imam mentioned in this article, Anwar al Awlaki, is thought by many of his fellow clerics to be working with the CIA. When he was living in the US in 2002, a warrant for his arrest was inexplicably rescinded by the US Attorney in Denver, an indication that a deal may have been made then. Anwar al Awlaki was also claimed to have been a point of contact for two of the 9-11 accused." -- Wake the Flock Up
The radical Muslim imam who ministered to at least three Sept. 11 hijackers, the Fort Hood shooter and the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a U.S. jet on Christmas Day, was taken into custody at New York's JFK Airport on a felony arrest warrant in 2002. Even though Anwar al-Awlaki had been on the FBI's radar for years, he was let go....
Please, not another immoral "Al-CIA-Duh!"

"Attacks raise security fears in Yemen Associated Press / October 7, 2010
SAN’A, Yemen — Assailants fired a rocket at a convoy carrying Britain’s number-two diplomat in Yemen yesterday and a security guard killed a Frenchman working for an Austrian oil company in a pair of attacks that heightened fears over the safety of Westerners in a country facing a growing insurgency.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack on the British motorcade, but the violence casts doubt on the effectiveness of the Yemeni government’s US-backed campaign to uproot Al Qaeda militants....
Then we will JUST HAVE to get MORE FORCES in there, right -- and THREE WEEKS LATER along comes the UPS bomber!
It was the second attack in less than six months to target British officials in the country, and the latest since Yemeni authorities recently boosted security around embassies in San’a after receiving information that Al Qaeda was planning an attack....
