This stuff is getting ridiculous. I mean, banning "liquids" and et cetera. It was only done as a cover, in my opinion.
Let me tell you, this type of thing (foiling a terror plot,) happens something like once or twice a month. It usually isn't released because the government gets the tips from infiltrators into these movements, or insiders with a conscience, and they don't want to out anybody, so when the government makes a big deal, raises the "Terror level" and freaks out the news over this, you have to think to yourself, "What they heck are they trying to hide?" and then look at the news, and see what news stories are getting pushed to page five while everyone freaks out over nothing.
