Are we and the USA being softened up again for intervention?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Security is being tightened at airports with direct flights into the US - including some in the UK - in response to US warnings of a "credible threat".

UK Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the measures were being taken to keep the public safe.

While he would not specify what steps would be involved, he ruled out "significant disruption" to passengers.

It comes amid US media reports that al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria and Yemen are developing bombs to smuggle on planes.

if you can travel on bus and tube in London with no checks why airports, surely terrorists would avoid the most security checked method of travel and target travel that has no checks?
