Airport operator BAA is struggling to cope with the demand for online information about the new hand luggage restrictions and delays at aiports. the main BAA web site is currently down, replaced with a simple page containing the following message:

"Due to the heightened security at UK airports, the BAA website is currently experiencing a high level of people visiting the site for information. All BAA airports remain open but passengers should expect delays."

Around 20 people were arrested overnight in London in connection with the plans which are believed to involve detonating explosives smuggled onto planes in hand luggage.
