Fox News & Sky News just reporting a commercial passenger jet being escorted to landing in the US at JFK. A UAE flight from Yemen is reported to be scheduled at this time, but unclear if it is involved.

The US over reacting as usual. So now they're going to impose even more daft restrictions on flights. The most paranoid nation on the planet (even more so than Nth Korea!) Quote on TV this morning "the suspicious toner cartridges have all the hallmarks of Al Quaeda"
WTF!!! when did Al Quaeda start using toner cartridges?

Would you rather that they let the bombs/suspect packages get delivered??
