    Sorry if posted before...I didn't see it. They are now saying a list of between 50 to 80 terrorists may have been participants in a much bigger plot than originally thought. The grounding of all airplanes may have thwarted some of the terrorist attempts. Two such terrorists were caught with box cutters in their luggage here in Fort Worth riding an Amtrak train. They were supposedly arguing with each other over food and drawing attention to themselves. They strongly believe they were involved and were headed to San Antonio. They may have been targeting somewhere in TX(like San Antonio) and would have hijacked a plane originally but since the planes were grounded....it may have been thwarted.

    Also, what is with the person in NY with the false pilot identification? I'm glad they caught him because he couldn't be up to anything good. I also heard something about some persons posing as a crew. That is just scary so they had to close the NY airports.

    You can't even bring a razor or fork knife on a plane any more. Hopefully, sky marshals will be standard on air planes in the future. They may already be on the flights undercover from what is being reported.

    I hope they can round up the individuals on this list. Apparently, the investigation and talks with different sources have resulted in the formulation of this list.

    To think this could have been a much worse plot than what did happen and could have affected more parts of the country.
    Maybe they weren't counting on the grounding of flights or maybe they were planning to stagger their attacks over several days. Is it even over yet? Scary.

    Surf,

    There were 10 more detained at JFK and I believe La Guardia for trying to take knives, fake ID's, open tickets, etc. onboard planes. It obviously isn't over... man, I'm not flying for a while... :(

    I don't think they dreamed that the U.S. would mobilize so soon. Not only are they going to get the terrorist who planned on hijacking planes, who ever sent them over just signed their death certificate and cashed in their chips.
