...plans. The tough new baggage restrictions, in which nearly all carry-on luggage was initially banned, could have an impact on future travel, the survey found, but since then the rules have already been eased slightly to allow some cabin baggage. The upshot, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Reid: "Current travel volumes should not be challenged." The one sector that might be affected for a while is the burgeoning low-cost carriers in Europe, such as Ryanair and easyJet, which have soared to prominence by tapping into demand for cheap weekend breaks for passengers who frequently don't want...
...flights in the U.S. and elsewhere. And passengers flying between the U.K. and the U.S. were for several days all searched by hand and barred from bringing anything on board with them other than a select few items in a clear plastic bag.

...Acutely aware that the disrupted plot has turned attention back on Britain's Muslim population, the authorities pepper their statements with calls for patience and tolerance. "Common solidarity and common cause is, I believe, now our most precious asset," Reid said, "and we should foster it in all sections of our community." The police have put extra officers on the streets to protect Muslim citizens. But anti-terror efforts have left those British Muslim communities feeling victimized and sometimes skeptical over claims by the security services, particularly after a police raid in June saw a Muslim man shot and wounded...
