LONDON - Authorities downgraded Britain’s terror threat level Monday, offering hope to travelers mired in chaos at airports since security forces foiled an alleged plot to bomb packed trans-Atlantic jetliners. But more flights from London were canceled on the fifth day of the crisis.

The threat level was lowered from critical to severe to reflect an intelligence assessment that a terrorist attack remained highly likely but was no longer imminent. ...

With the reduction in the threat level, Britain’s Department of Transport said passengers would be allowed to carry a single, briefcase-sized bag aboard aircraft, and that books, laptop computers and iPods would be permitted again. However, Heathrow and other major airports said they would not adopt the relaxed regulations until Tuesday.

hmmm... I guess people only like threads where they can complain about the current situation. Guess nobody cares that things are relaxing a bit for our UK friends.

Of course we care, but, most of us had already heard about this and no comment was really necessary.
But, I am thrilled for them. It is nice to see the return of " almost normal".
