Cartoons: Chaos at UK airports

Here in the UK, most of us woke up on Thursday morning with the news that a new terrorist threat has been spoilt by the authorities. This threat was supposed to be bigger than Sept 11.

The plan apparently was to blow up planes to the US from the UK, either while on air or as they reach their destination.

This resulted in the threat level in the UK being upgraded to 'critical' level and all airports in the country being placed on high alert. Authorities banned hand luggages and did extra security checks on all passengers, causing massive chaos in all airports. Only today, some of the restrictions were lifted.

Below are two editorial cartoons to depict the conditions in the UK airports because of this latest terror alert. Click on them for bigger and better images.
