10am, New Directions enforced by Aer Lingus

At 10am this Morning U.S Homeland Security ordered Irish Airline: Aer Lingus to
comply with anti-terrorist laws, disallowing liquids on transatlantic flights.
The Irish Airport Authority complied.
There is no statement from the Minister for Foreign affiars as to the direction and how
it was relayed to the Airport Authority.

While Heathrow has cancelled all flights , new directions include making a mother carrying a child
drink from the baby's bottle , in order to prove that it does what it says on the tin.

Irish authorities have complied and there are queues at the airport.

all flights in London are cancelled for twenty -four hours.

No wonder stocks are plummeting.

Did Aer Lingus comply without the mediation of Foreign Affairs and how do these things
work?

A nation tells another how to run its business and it is acomplished without a by your leave.
Aer lingus, it seems does what it is told by the U.S.
