I'm flying transpac on UA in about 14 hours from when I type this, and then transtlantic in 2 days (to LHR). While Ozstamps aserts that flying transatlantic is no worries, I actually am more aware than ever that flying specially into the UK from the US, both "allies" in the war ahead, will be likely terrorist targets. Added to that, a US major carrier must look tempting.</font>
I doubt that Terrorists would even get a view of any of the US-UK flights. The security will be so ****ed tight that they won't get a chance. Remember, they also follow the rule "strike at enemy's weak spot". I think you'll be very safe.

Yes, I am also flying out to BKK-TPE-SIN in 24 hours. Unfortunately my chance of picking up a virus will be higher than your chance of meeting a terrorist.
