Home Secretary John Reid announces that the threat level at Britain's airports is now merely "severe" (down from "critical") after the alleged attempts to blow up aircraft last week. The information is "intelligence-based". He also denies that these terrorist activities are connected to Britain's foreign policy in the middle east. I wonder where this intelligence is coming from. Is the Home Office "fit for purpose" yet?
