I just returned from Europe yesterday, so thank you, Great Britain. We sure picked the right day to return home — only turbulence to contend with.
The Murphy family spent a couple of weeks there, and we flew through Heathrow on our way over to Switzerland. We flew through Brussels on our way back. Security in Brussels was really tight — flights to America were from one end of a terminal which was blocked off and had extra security – as I told my daughter, I’ve had less intrusive medical exams than that security screening. We were split into two groups, with my wife and son go through together, and my daughter and I together. My bottle of Pepto-Bismol (never leave home without it) was in my son’s backpack, and boy were they interested in it. Along with 97 left over plastic spoons. Now I know why since the terrorists were planing to use liquid explosives.
