Terrorists Could Use Explosives in Breast Implants to Crash Planes, Experts Warn
Plastic surgeons using explosive-laden breast implants in homicide bombers could be a new terror tactic that current airport scanning methods may miss.

Female homicide bombers are being fitted with exploding breast implants which are almost impossible to detect, British spies have reportedly discovered.
The shocking new Al Qaeda tactic involves radical doctors inserting the explosives in women's breasts during plastic surgery — making them "virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines."
It is believed the doctors have been trained at some of Britain's leading teaching hospitals before returning to their own countries to perform the surgical procedures.
MI5 has also discovered that extremists are inserting the explosives into the buttocks of some male bombers.
"Women suicide bombers recruited by Al Qaeda are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery," Terrorist expert Joseph Farah claims.
The lethal explosives called PETN are inserted inside plastic shapes during the operation, before the breast is then sewn up.
The discovery of these methods was made after London-educated Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came close to blowing up an airliner in the U.S. on Christmas Day.
He had stuffed explosives inside his underpants.
Hours after he had failed, Britain's intelligence services began to pick up "chatter" emanating from Pakistan and Yemen that alerted MI5 to the creation of the lethal implants.
A hand-picked team investigated the threat which was described as "one that can cir vent our defense."
Top surgeons have confirmed the feasibility of the explosive implants.
Explosive experts allegedly told MI5 that a sachet containing as little as five ounces of PETN could blow "a considerable hole" in an airline's skin, causing it to crash.
You can only defend against so much, really. A person determined to get through a system eventually will. It's very much like the CIA triangle that IT security goes by. Confidentiality, Availability, Integrity. You have to balance all three.
Oh, forgot to add: These f*ckers are crazy. Honestly batsh*t insane.
The bags are the only one in this scenario that I think are reasonable. They're able to spend all day in a woman's breasts, something I find highly reasonable.
But the doctors implanting the explosives, the women undertaking the procedure, the people giving the orders... all cuckoo, to me.
To me, writing an article about it is even more cuckoo...
...right up there with posting it publicly.
The meaning of "in" is crucial here; I have no desire to find myself trapped within a woman's breast.
It does posit that the increasing permeability of the membrane between science and terror is an insidious development.
Publicly was the biggest word I used in this thread.
Cmon now WH; you can't even let a little play on words go there?
Besides, if you were made of silicon, which would you rather be? Inside a woman's breast, or inside a computer chip? If I had my druthers it'd be the former.
It's good point, LNGR. That dilemma hadn't occurred to me.
Probably because you're more sane than I.
Let's face it, thinking from the perspective of grains of silicon is probably marginally abnormal.
Andianism?
(raises eyebrow)
However, exploding male buttocks (and bollix).
MI5 has also discovered that extremists are inserting the explosives into the buttocks of some male bombers.
Exploding ties!?!? I know you lefty dems don't want to hear this but it's time to encourage racial profiling. Every muslim needs her s examined before getting on an airplane.
(Blowhole23 apparently couldn't hang. Must have a real life or something.)
...belch

approbative feasibly![]()
In related news, the TSA is now accepting applications for breast inspectors.
wino seel of approvl![]()
Wow. It took us twenty posts to get there.![]()
"Muslim"
Is not a race, stupid.![]()
I see it more as rationalization after the fact. Isn't the TSA still perfectly en led to feel up yer granny?
how does one ignite a breast btw?
