WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security announced this morning that a terrorist plot to blow up planes over cities using liquid explosives has been thwarted by Scotland Yard in London. Because of the threat, starting this morning passengers on all U.S. domestic flights are forbidden from bringing liquids of any kind on board planes.According to Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Velvetta Lugosi-Sammartino, the ban includes even liquids in bladders. "We are instructing all passengers to [urinate] prior to getting in line to board or they will be banned from their flight," she said. Special urinals are being set up at all security check points to aid passengers. "This may be tough on the women," chuckled Ms. Lugosi-Sammartino, "but I can tell you that the guards at the security points are having a marvelous time this morning watching the gals try to use those things."
