WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The government plans to expand airport security measures starting as soon as Friday, adding to those just put in place in response to a foiled overseas plot to blow up U.S.-bound airliners, industry and other officials said.

The changes triggered by the discovery of a British-based plot to carry aboard bomb-making ingredients disguised as beverages and other common items mark the most urgent aviation security steps since the September 11, 2001, hijack attacks.

Beginning on Friday, security screening of carry-on items will expand significantly from levels imposed at two dozen cities on Thursday, Jim May, chief executive of the Air Transport Association, said at a news conference.

The trade group for the biggest airlines said the changes would involve additional checks at boarding gates but offered no details. Transportation security officials would not discuss new screening steps in advance.

Authorities have banned travelers from carrying liquids and other gel-based products such as toothpaste and makeup onto planes. Those items are permitted in checked luggage.

Additional security steps include:

-National Guard forces activated in Massachusetts and California will assist airport screeners.

-Certain private air services from Britain must coordinate with U.S. aviation and security authorities for permission to fly. The Federal Aviation Administration order will likely affect business jets and other private aircraft. Big commercial carriers already have security programs in place.

-Airlines departing Britain must supply a passenger manifest to U.S. authorities ahead of takeoff, May said. Currently, carriers can give that information for checks against watch lists soon after the plane leaves.

Rep. John Mica, a Florida Republican and chairman of the House of Representatives aviation subcommittee, credited security officials with being prepared and for taking quick action on Thursday.

But he said the prospect of explosives in luggage remains a chief threat to U.S. aviation even though security officials have focused more closely on it this year.

"We still have a challenge," Mica said.

Really, fuck this shit! How much of this ridiculous shit do we have to suffer cause of a bunch of shitskin douchebags? I read elsewhere that they are banning all electronic devices on board, and they will require people to put all their personal items in clear plastic bags (including VERY PERSONAL stuff) to show the screeners.

What about banning the fucking shitksin muslim anal fungus ragheads?! Just don't let any brown shit or raghead or any moron with a muslim name/nationality fly! Why torture civilized white people who INVENTED this fucking thing called airline travel? Fuck this shit, really! (Can't they actually grow some brain cells and make people sip whatever drinks they carry?)

Fuck Pakis and other muslim shitbags. It's about time pansy ass British goverment starts mass deporting those sewer rats back to the giant sewer they came from!

Yeah good luck getting that done, the Jews will never give up their "Diversity" war against Whites until we are all dead.

Even more shit:

"Trippler said that if passengers are prohibited permanently from bringing drinks on planes, then some carriers could perceive an opportunity to make more money on beverage sales."

Fuck this. Why don't these shitskin anal warts target the kike airlines anyway?

Northwest Airlines Reminds Customers of New TSA Security Requirement

EAGAN, Minn -- (August 10, 2006) - Northwest Airlines is reminding its customers of a new requirement from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) affecting all airline passengers. Click here for current Travel Waiver information

Effective August 10, 2006, the TSA has advised that travelers are not allowed to transport any liquids, gels, lotions or similar items in their carry-on luggage. This includes items such as beverages, hairspray, toothpaste and shampoo. Customers are advised to transport these items in their checked luggage. The TSA will remove these items from customers' carry-on luggage at airport security checkpoints. These items must now be placed in checked luggage or they will be discarded.

* Baby formula, breast milk or juice will still be allowed as carry-on items if a baby or small child is traveling. Other TSA policy exceptions include prescription medicine with a name that matches the name on the passenger's ticket, insulin and non-prescription medicines, but these items must be presented for inspection at the security checkpoint.
o To meet the needs of our passengers, NWA is providing additional bottled water on all domestic and international flights.

* To ensure our passengers' in-flight Duty Free purchases meet the new TSA carry-on requirements, on-board Duty Free sales will not include any liquid, cream or gel items.

---------------------------------

I want to take all the gels and liquids of the world and do something very nasty to those shitskin douchebags using a high pressure pump.

What the fuck do they want us to do? Build zeplins and travel with them? Create an elite class of millionaire shitheads with private jets who have the privilege to fly?

...to think that we are supposed to pay for the "privilege" of being treated like potential criminals over bottled water or a tube of face cream...Good grief! I'll ride on a Greyhound bus full of niggers first!!!:mad:

My sister, who travels a lot, told me recently (when I said I had not flown in a few years and didn't intend to do so again because of shit like this) that it was all a lot of baloney and there was virtually no airport security.

Now they have some idiotic, phony BS with which to distract the Amerika moron millions for a week or so till kikistan either manages to beat the defenders of Lebanon or there is some political face saving deal for the jew scum. Then, just like after the 911 jewjob, everybody will forget about terrorism at airports and it will be business as usual.

This might be unduly cynical, but it sounds like the truth to me.

Amazing the morons are quite as stupid as they are. Anybody can see through this shit, particularly the timing. It's pretty hilarious, as long as you don't have to travel.
I'd like to go the Italy and Germany again - which means planes. Otherwise - only Montana has allure for me, and if and when I go again, I'll drive in my own car.

Fuck them.

I don't fly anymore, not after a couple of years ago when I got searched, and had to stare at some MP and his minions, and watch them search a crippled old woman in a wheelchair and took an Israeli family and cheack them over. This is humiliating. We should just ban arabs from flying. There is a real fear of bombs, but I also think it's an intimidation by the system to cower the lemmings...and to show they don't really trust us.

.. all the paki/nigg baggage handlers are thilled with the new wealth of opportunities to pilfer high-value items that now have to be checked as baggage instead of carry-on. Notebooks, camcorders, cameras, etc.. were rarely put in luggage due to fear of theft. Now thats mandatory.

Commercial airlines deserve to go bankrupt. No wonder Warren Buffet owns NetJets.

They know what they want. They'll pay to get it. The secret of how one airplane service profits by catering to the needs, wants and whims of a well-heeled clientele.

When billionaire investor Warren Buffett sinks into a plush leather chair aboard his privately chartered NetJets flight, he counts on finding a glass of Cherry Coke waiting for him. For New York Knicks star Allan Houston, it's a glass of fresh carrot juice, and for Jim Friess, an executive with the storied Claiborne Thoroughbred farm in Kentucky, it's usually a range of food and beverage options stocked ahead of time.

"They are just so good about making sure they have exactly what I or my guests want—our favorite beers, wine, anything," says Friess, who boards the plane at nearby Lexington Blue Grass Airport and has it whisk him to any point in the country with just a few hours' notice. "It's the absolute opposite of flying commercial."

The attention to detail isn't surprising given the amount NetJets' clientele pay for the privilege of not having to wait at check-in lines, fret over connecting flights, search for lost bags, endure commercial airline meals [or humiliating 'security' gropings]. With plans that start at about $350,000, individuals and corporations share ownership of a jet with 15 other parties. On top of that, monthly management fees reach about $5,400. For this basic package, a fractional owner gets to use a Cessna Citation V Ultra Jet, which seats seven, for 50 hours during the year.

In the scheduled-airline world, travelers have come to anticipate delays and other hassles. But NetJets passengers, says chief information officer Mike Midkiff, expect to have a car waiting at the airport even if their plane is an hour early or if they've arrived at an entirely different destination than originally planned. After all, they've paid for that privilege. "Our customers can give us as little as four hours' notice that they need a plane, and we will get one to their airport of choice.

I don't think I am ever going to fly again.

The airlines are not to blame (for this, anyway). Why would
they want to alienate their customers? If it were up to them,
there would be no security and they could zip you to and fro
with a minimum of hassle. It's a business like any other, and
things go downhill when government gets involved.

.. all the paki/nigg baggage handlers are thilled with the new wealth of opportunities to pilfer high-value items that now have to be checked as baggage instead of carry-on. Notebooks, camcorders, cameras, etc.. were rarely put in luggage due to fear of theft. Now thats mandatory.

Good point. Back in the late 80's I had a friend that moved out
to California and took a job as a baggage handler at LAX. On the
first day he was told by his supervisor in no uncertain terms that
if he witnessed anyone stealing from checked baggage, he should
mind his own business. To this day I don't check anything that I
wouldn't miss too much if it disappeared.

This same guy had previously worked at a UPS sorting facility.
Another bit of wisdom gleaned from his experience is to pack
UPS packages as if they were literally being thrown around -
because they are. Also, if something is fragile, don't mark it as
such - it will likely just get extra rough treatment out of spite.

The recent 'security' measures play right into the formula industy's hands. Now they can take breastmilk from traveling moms. You are only allowed to bring the milk with you, if you have the child in tow. Moms who travel and pump have had their ice packs and milk confiscated.

I read stories from moms this week who were hassled.

I'm no expert, just someone who is suspicious of anything relating to Jews. I think this latest so-called terror plot is another one of those timed news releases, which come out at what they percieve as the most opportune moment. This 9/11 movie that keeps getting hyped is another example.

Those amatuers in Florida, as well as the ones in Toronto, Canada, were planned releases also, IMHO. The Toronto one, those guys were being watched for what 2 years?

Either way the public will put up with it, there is obviously nothing, no price too high to pay, for total 100% support of the Terror State of Israeli.
