London Off-Limits to American Military Personnel

I haven't seen anything official on this.

From Sky News:
Amid fears of possible further attacks in London, it has emerged that thousands of American servicemen and women based in Britain have been banned from entering the capital.

The order provoked criticism from tourism officials and politicians, who have been urging people to carry on travelling into the capital as normal.

The decision is being reviewed today, according to the charge d'affaires at the American Embassy in London, David Johnson.
This seems odd and contrary to the message that terrorism won't disrupt our lives.

[Update 0815 EDT]

FOXNews is reporting that the off-limits order has been rescinded. The military apparently had an Emily Latella moment (Oh! Nevermind.).
