The guy with the grenade was GETTING OFF a plane, not trying to get on a plane. The two guys arrested outside the airport have been released without charge.
How can the Israelis live their lives in relative normality under daily threat of terrorism while the rest of the Western world runs around like headless chickens ??

i am at work and had heard news clips on the radio. i've just looked into the stories on http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and http://www.sky.com/skynews/ and from what i can gather, the grenade was found on a man flying from venezuela into the uk as he tried to get through customs. what if that plane had been bound from the u.s.? most of the other men were arrested around the airports or from random security checks.

I bet the guy was going to stash the grenade in the bathroom or something, other guy goes thru security just fine, then goes to bathroom and grabs it prior to getting on a plane...

Dude, you've had the IRA running around the UK for the last 30 yrs and you're getting worried now ?
If this was a terrorist attack, don't you think their (terrorists) logistics would be a little more prepared than to require a guy to fly from Venezuela with one grenade.
Please try to keep this in perspective. I respect your feelings but the current wave of hysteria in the US & UK doesn't help matters.

Fair point I suppose but I think the Israelis keep things in perspective a little better. They deal with this everyday and not just for the past couple of years either. Be alert not alarmed as I think the Govt has said.
