Explosive situation

Excuse me, but oh shit.
Police have arrested a man carrying a live hand grenade at Gatwick Airport and evacuated one terminal. All flights out of the north terminal were suspended after the man - thought to be a 37-year-old Venezuelan - was detained under anti-terrorism laws.
Notice the part where it says that his baggage was searched after he arrived from Colombia. So there was a live grenade on the plane throughout the flight. Am I overreacting when I say that really, really scares me?

I've been feeling a bit subdued and deep-down worried all day really - probably something to do with the fact that I'm going to fail my P5 mock exam tomorrow - and getting more appalled and sickened by the whole US/Iraq situation (as evidenced below) and I happened to read Wil's latest blog entry which sounds like it was written in the same mood that I'm in at the moment. I love that I can just go and read through the blogs on my regular blogroll and find something that really resonates with how I'm feeling, something that cheers me up, and something that leaves me glowering in mock-hurt national pride.

I love the internet. But I'd better go and start revising now for that exam...
