INCREDIBLE UPDATE: White House says terror threat issued for flights to London, and Dubai!…

From Dateline Zero - European air officials are getting fed up with what they consider to be unnecessarily cumbersome, altogether invasive, and utterly “useless” airport security. Couldn’t agree more. Government has a tenancy to be more interested in theappearance of security than in actual security.

According to ABC News:

European air officials accused the United States of imposing useless and overly intrusive travel security measures, calling Wednesday for the Obama administration to reexamine policies ranging from online security checks to X-raying shoes.

British Airways’ chairman made the first in a wave of complaints, saying in a speech to airport operators that removing shoes and taking laptops out of bags were “completely redundant” measures demanded by the U.S.

This news comes about a week after a US pilot made news for publicly saying enough is enough — and he refused both the TSA’s strip-scanning and the invasive so-called “pat down.” Now the White House has responded with this terror threat, this very afternoon!

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Obama was alerted Thursday night, and administration officials have been monitoring the situation.

“Based on close cooperation among U.S. government agencies and with our foreign allies and partners, authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in London and one in Dubai. Both of these packages originated from Yemen,” Gibbs said in a written statement. “As a result of security precautions triggered by this threat, the additional measures were taken regarding the flights at Newark Liberty and Philadelphia International Airports.

Given the origin of the packages, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula “is at the top of the list” of suspects, a U.S. official told Fox News.
