...industry has known there might be times when extra security measures needed to be put in place," British Airway chief executive William Walsh said this week. "Yet when the moment struck, BAA had no plan ready to keep Heathrow functioning properly. The queues for security have wound all round the terminals like a bad dream at Disneyland."

Both sides will want to inflict maximum pain in the coming hours, and fighting on the ground will escalate - Israel lost a further seven soldiers Saturday, and fierce fighting in the coming hours portends more casualties on both sides.
