sourceLONDON - Britain eased a ban on airline cabin baggage on Monday and scaled down a security alert imposed last week after police said they had foiled a plot to blow up airliners, but delays and cancellations at airports continued.
Home Secretary John Reid said the downgrading of the threat of a terrorist attack from "critical," the highest level, to "severe," did not mean the danger of an attack had passed, but that police believed they had wrapped up most loose ends.
"There has now been time to assess the intelligence picture following the police operation," Reid told reporters. "The police believe that the main suspects in the alleged plot were arrested last week."
