Hi, Dave

regarding the planned attack.
...

One feature, if you read the articles, that might be of interest to IP.
In the UK, they've banned people from taking electronic equipment on
planes: that means laptop computers, mobile phones, and iPods among
other items.  See for instance:

     www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-US-Terror-Plot-Glance.html

I have no idea what the security basis is for this decision.

The plan was to bomb the planes via liquid explosives which is the reason to forbid taking liquid with you into the plane. Mother's milk has to be tested by the mother to be taken within the plane The security fears that any mobile etc. could countain a detonator or used as one.
