British Officials Identify 19 Terror Suspects Behind Plane Plot
LONDON (AP) -- British officials on Friday identified 19 of the suspects accused of planning to blow up U.S.-bound aircraft in the biggest terrorist plot to be uncovered since 9/11, while investigators probed their movements, background and finances.

Travelers saw shorter lines at airports as flight schedules slowly returned to normal.

British police have arrested 24 people suspected of involvement in the plot. At least one was reportedly a woman with a small child; two others were converts to Islam. One of the suspects reportedly worked at Heathrow Airport.

Between ducktape, boxcutters and plastic..... shampoo and mouthwash is a step down in the British/American intelligence community schemes.
