Swedish man arrested over suspected hijack attempt

A Swede of Tunisian origin was arrested on suspicion of planning a hijack of a plane flying between Stockholm and London. He had a gun with him in his "toilet bag", which I suppose is a British word for a small carry-on and not some sort of bathroom aid.

At any event, it's nice to know other countries have terrible airport security as well. Well, it's not really nice to know, but at least we're not alone.

Translations from the Reuterese

"[N]early a year to the day since the September 11 suicide attacks on the United States."
Translation: Nearly a year after a group of terrorists hijacked four planes and killed over 3000 people.
