You moron its becasue of his administration the US intelligence as well as British intelligence that this was thwarted. When will people like you understand we are at war with people who could care less about you your family or anything.
Thank God for Bush and Tony Blair

Oh yeah, like Bush did a LOT to investigate and come up with this intelligence. The intelligence agencies exist whether there is a republican or democrat in the oval office.

CNN just reported that security experts are recommending a ban on any item in the passenger cabin which requires a battery, since bombs require a power source.

So laptops, cellphones, ipods & wristwatches will be prohibited as carry-on luggage.

Can you even begin to imagine the uproar when these rules are enacted?

(on the flipside, maybe now all that overhead bin space can be sold as "lay-flat economy business class")

This one we missed. Speaking of power source the smoke detector come equiped with one. Just lock yourself in and hook it up. Bingo and there wired. Looks like we need security screens to secure them.

We better add more h2o and food....sh*! why not add a buy on board convience store! What a mess!!

Additional security that increases total travel time will hurt short haul travel more than it is already suffering.

Theoretically, requiring everything to be checked will increase the premium one will pay for a nonstop. And it will increase the premium one will pay for airlines with onboard entertainment. Theoretically.

Absent those things happening, overall travel demand should have nothing more than a quick short-term drop.

Drink that Kool-aid!

Rugy Gulliani was on Hanitey and Colmes on FOX news and he said the war in Iraq has absolutely prevented attacks in the US. He said it was "brilliant" that we attacked Iraq and imperative that we be on the offensive agianst the people who wish to kill us vs "Negotiating or letting the UN" do something! Think of it as being agresive in football or using the "prevent" defense! Except with terrorist the "Prevent" get people killed!

Yeah. It's the end of business travel as you know it.

yeah ..and eventually Bush may try to use the same argument to take away people's personal freedoms. "It will prevent crime".

On domestic flights you may still take electronics etc.,

I was talking about a much broader topic.

After watching all the news, I do not think this ban will end anytime soon all you need is some peroxide, the explosive paste and an electric charge. I could see a ban coming on anything carried on board.

I agree. I don't think there will much of a decrease in travel, and any decrease will be short lived ..but I fear these new security procedures are here to stay for a while.

You think Rudy is a Nazi. The correct analogy on this situation is the Terrorist are the Nazi's and you are Chamberlin trying to apease Hitler you fool!
