TransAtlantic Bomb Plot Foiled

From the Washington Post: LONDON, Aug. 10 -- British authorities said Thursday they had disrupted a well-advanced "major terrorist plot" to blow up passenger flights between the United Kingdom and the United States using liquid explosives, prompting a full-scale security clampdown at U.S. and British airports and a cascade of delays in transatlantic flights.

This just out and apparently only applies to transatlantic flights. But, now u can't even carry toothpaste in your carry on luggage!!!!

We'll just have to wait and see how it flows over to LOS flights.

For now, and until further notice, on ANY flight from Britain to ANY destination you cannot carry ANY luggage on board. Only wallet, passport and necessary medical supplies permitted into the cabin. Toothpaste, computer, hair gel, cell phone, etc -- you will check it in, or leave it behind.

In all the articles in the press/online I saw no mention about women's (or men's) purses....

No hand luggage = no purses
