Another False Alarm

But the police did absolutely the right thing throughout. Having used Heathrow Airport to go to and from the US in the past week I can tell you security is tight to the point where you feel a bit nervous, esp when entering the US. It can also be irritating, esp when you have to do things like taking your belt and shoes off as I did, but today has reminded us why it is all there and thank God they are vigilant. It's times like this that I remember the IRA's chilling message after the Brighton Bomb that they only have to be lucky once. A sobering thought indeed!

Paul - I read your posts on working for the Obama campaign. I live in Illinois and found this to be so interesting.
I have wondered how the people in Britian and the rest of Europe feel about our primaries and what they think of McCain, Clinton and Obama.
Of course, I am hoping they are the most interested in and like Obama the most.
This had to be such an interesting thing for you to do.
Did you ever get a chance to meet Senator Obama.
I hope so and then you can brag that you met the next president of the United States and what a difference from the Clown Bush.

I think a no of people in Britain just want to see a change in the US after eight years. I didn't get to meet Senator Obama, but I am very proud to have been involved in his campaign
