Terrorist Attacks?!

So shortly after my cell phone alarm awoke me at 7:45 AM this morning, I received a call from my friend David who is currently in Florida for the AmeriCorps (I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!). Once we got finished talking, I called my mom to tell her I had spoken to David. She asked how he was and then asked if I had been watching the news.

"I just woke up, mom!" was my reply. She told me to turn on ABC, that there were terrorist reports in regards to flights leaving the UK, and that no one was able to bring liquids on board (i.e. contact solution - I LOVE how that was her FIRST example!). There were reports of terrorists bringing on bottled drinks that had a milky like substance in the *bottom* of the container. The container was actually a false bottom with a home made liquid explosive. When a camera was flashed at the bottle, the liquids would explode, being able to take out a plane.

Now, I'm not good at physics or science in general, so don't ask how a camera flash could ignite a milky substance that would serve as a bomb, but supposedly it can!

Of course my mom freaked out, and then Charlie Richter brought the issue up in the theatre office. Robert J's quote of, "I'm glad I went abroad last year!" didn't help the situation either.

Oh well. Just more excitement in my life! :)
