Does This Mean Toothpaste Is Safe Again?

Remember the “plot” to blow up airliners using smuggled liquid explosives?  Remember the panic that followed?  If you have flown lately you certainly do.  Well, the British authorities who arrested 25 people are not having much luck so far getting any charges to stick.

Of the original 25, only 17 were charged and now 2 brothers have had their charges dropped due to insufficient evidence.  11 others still face the most serious charge of conspiracy to murder but you have to wonder how credible the threat was in the first place.

A Really Bad Week At Newark

Seems like it hasn’t been a good week for the gang that runs Newark International Airport or for Continental .  Yesterday, I reported that a Continental 757 had landed on a taxiway instead of the runway.

Last night, another one (I’m assuming) was damaged when it was “brushed” by a Lufthansa 747 that was on its way to fly to Frankfurt.
