Yet another government paranoia con. Still it all helps to reduce
hypermobility by making air travel even more arduous with all that
security.

"Pathetic. Stupid. How can anyone believe this con? and it's only day
one of this nonsense. H2O2 + Tang = Bang
The public, and particularly the flying public have been Tang'ed

"By Michael Holden Reuters - Thursday, April 3 06:58 pmLONDON
(Reuters) - Up to 18 suicide bombers may have planned to take part in
an Islamist terrorist plot to blow up transatlantic airliners which
could have killed more than 1,500 people, a London court heard on
Thursday.

Prosecutors said a gang of Britons planned to simultaneously explode
passenger aircraft in mid-air between London's Heathrow airport and
the United States and Canada.

They were close to putting their scheme into action when they were
arrested in August 2006, the court was told.

"It is the prosecution case that these men and others were engaged in
a deadly plan designed to bring about, what would have been if they
had been successful, a civilian death toll from an act of terrorism on
an almost unprecedented scale," said prosecutor Peter Wright.

"These men were ... indifferent to the carnage that was likely to
ensue if their plans were successful. To them the identities of their
victims was a complete irrelevance. All in the name of Islam."

The alleged plot involved homemade liquid explosives, hydrogen
peroxide-based mixtures, hidden in soft drink bottles. The devices
would have been put together on board and detonated when the planes
were in mid-air, Wright said.

Eight men are on trial. Wright said the plot appeared to centre around
seven transatlantic flights, carrying more than 200 passengers each.

But recorded conversations among the suspects suggested up to 18
suicide bombers and other terminals might have been involved, he
added.

"From the evidence you hear you may conclude these men were almost
ready to put this plot into practice," Wright said.

"They are men with the cold-eyed certainty of the fanatic."

TRANSATLANTIC PLOT

The eight British citizens on trial at Woolwich Crown Court are
Abdullah Ahmad Ali, 27, Assad Sarwar, 27, Tanvir Hussain, 27, Mohammed
Gulzar, 26, Ibrahim Savant, 27, Arafat Khan, 26, Waheed Zaman, 23, and
Umar Islam, 29. All are charged with conspiracy to murder.

They are also accused of plotting "to commit an act of violence likely
to endanger the safety of an aircraft".

The men -- one from north London, another from High Wycombe to the
west of London, and the rest from east London -- deny the charges.
They sat in the dock, dressed smartly and flanked by guards.

The suspects were arrested in August 2006, just over a year after four
British Islamists killed 52 commuters in suicide bomb attacks on
London's transport system. The arrests led to a big increase in
security measures, bringing chaos to airports.

Ali, Sarwar and Gulzar were the ringleaders, Wright said. A computer
memory stick found on Ali allegedly contained detailed information
about flights and airport security.

Seven flights to six North American destinations -- Montreal, Toronto,
San Francisco, Washington, New York and Chicago -- were highlighted.
The planes were 777s, 767s, and 763s, capable of carrying 241-285
people each.

More than a thousand flights were cancelled in the aftermath of the
arrests. The U.S. and Britain imposed restrictions on the carrying of
liquids onto planes by passengers."

The plot was said to have involved Hydrogen Peroxide and a soft drink
called Tang.
Man even if you wanted to make an explosive from H2O2 and acetone to
produce TATP you'd need 24 hours in the aircraft toilet plus a coolant
facility
Yet this dastardly plot to bomb several transatlanjtic airliners
simultaneously, by people with no tickets, no chemicals, some without
passports, using an alleged soft drink, reminiscent of the July 21st
chapati flour + hydrogen peroxide "failed" bomber mix which couldnt
ever have exploded and yet the perpetrators were found guilty of
conspiracy to commit murder.

And yet another absurd trial commences with an unknown brand of pop
and hydrogen peroxide, and still flying is a nightmare in many
airports from this totally absurd allegation

Come on surrealists, mad allegations are made in a British Court of
Law and apparently accepted.

Activists here taking up your time with other absurdist abstractions,
where are you?
Laughing on the other side of your face?
You will be soon! "
