Initially two explosions under "tube trains" at Edgware road
and Aldgate stations, these being two major junctions on
the Hammersmith city and circle lines and Metropolitan lines.
Also a double-decker bus in central London suffered a huge
explosion that blew the whole upper deck off.
There are further reports of further explosions at:

business area of London, also Russell square being popular

Breaking at reports of controlled explosions in the Houndsditch
and Liverpool street area's of London.

An update:
It is now being accepted as being a co-ordinated terrorist
attack.
At least six explosions in the central district of London.
Initially the "tube" (subway) network was the prime target.
It now seems that subsequent explosions were intending
to hinder evacuation and emergency services.
"at least 20 dead"
Many injuries - loss of limbs, burns etc
alarmed
You may all by now have all the details on your news reports.
The latest on the double-decker bus explosion in Russell square,
reports being it was a "Big Bus" London tourist double-decker,
so at this time of year, it would have been packed with tourists
- primarily Americans on vacation, doing the London tour.
London has been brought to a shut-down.
This is unspeakably evil,

There's talk on CNN about baggage checks before boarding a train or

If you remember, when something similar happened in Madrid, the
Spanish immediately dumped their government and pulled out of Iraq.
Now there may have been very good reasons for Spain to dump its
government and pull out of Iraq but doing it so quickly after the
attack made the enemy think of this sort of attack as "something which
works" and may have been important in the timeline that lead to
today's attack.
By the way, if you'd like to see what a blown up bus looks like, the
Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a (broadband) movie it would
like you to see. Warning - obscene, explicit severed limbs - not
recommended within 12 hours before or after lunch.

The reason the Spanish dumped their government is because they lied (worse
than most governments do).
Within minutes of the explosions, the government blamed the ETA (Basque
separatists), without even waiting to for results of any investigations. As
it became apparent that it was Al-Qaida, and not ETA, the Spanish people
were pissed that Aznar used the attack to attempt to make points against
ETA.

As "Doubya" has nothing to do with it, leave him out of that sentence.
Then I'd say it is a good idea.

blown to hell? Geez! The American ACLU is just as bad regarding this
problem. It seems to me that an individual's right to privacy should not
supercede the general welfare of the community in which said individual
resides.
Personally, I say go for the scanners. After all, the security personel can
get really good porn any day of the week. Why would they bother gawking at
the barely 'undressed' images on a system like that?
