Today's News
By now I'm sure you've read about the foiled plot to blow up airplanes headed from the UK to the US. Our terror alert level has been raised to the highest level for flights from the UK to the US, the level has been raised to orange for all other flights either within the US or beginning or ending in the US.
From the Department of Homeland Security Website: "Due to the nature of the threat revealed by this investigation, we are prohibiting any liquids, including beverages, hair gels, and lotions from being carried on the airplane. This determination will be constantly evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant."
If you are traveling soon, keep in mind that you'll need to check in a minimum of 2.5 hours prior to flight time. You cannot carry on the items mentioned above and you may be asked to finish your beverage before boarding. Also keep in mind that your identification and proof of citizenship will be intensely scrutinized. Be absolutely sure that yours is in order.
Should you cancel your trip? I wouldn't. In fact, my Daddy is traveling to Europe next month..including a flight to and from London. I'm not advising him to cancel based on current information. I am traveling to Europe in October, and I'm not planning to cancel either. If we cancel our plans based on these events, we are bowing to the terrorists.
If you have a trip coming up within the next 10 days, I'll be personally calling you starting in just a few minutes. If you have any questions, email me or call our office.
More Later.
