...reports that a number of analysts are warning that the new types of threat may dictate a radical change in the security regime governing air travel, in which passengers may be required to subject themselves to substantially longer delays for pre-flight scrutiny. The potential to hide explosive components in everything from toothpaste and contact-lens solution to laptop computers and other personal electronic devices may also demand rules that make air travel even less comfortable than it currently...
...foiled plot also underlines the fact that, for all the talk in recent years about al-Qaeda focusing on coming up with a new form of terror attack - be it with weapons of mass destruction or against a target other than air travel - the group tends to stick with what they believe is a good plan, notes Rohan Gunaratna, author of Inside al-Qaeda.

Empty nesters, they're downsizing to a smaller place in Millicent, with a plan to sell that, too, in about seven years, buy a motor home and travel the country.
