London/Glasgow Non-Bombs

At least The Register is getting the technical details right, but you'll never hear of the near impossibility of the fuel-air bomb device actually working in the mainstream news since it wouldn't be quite as exciting or, well, terrorizing to the public. Same as the JFK plot that would have "killed thousands". Right. If these guys are looking to set a fire, there are easier ways to commit arson, but then you'd never hear things like, "the devastation that would be caused had this plot succeeded is just unthinkable." Unthinkable. Oh, the terror! These terrorists aren't stupid, the system caught them just in time to prevent the chilling plot from unfolding. It could even happen at Disney World.

So, of course it is also time for a secret document to be accidentally leaked that details a predicted "terror spectacular". Are you nervous, yet?

With this being an important holiday week in the US and all, you be should remain hyper-vigilant. Report anything suspicious, especially if you happen to hear any explosions in the night.
