Booby Traps

A GGD post picturing a NSFW birthday cake triggered a faint memory about something I'd seen several months ago and set aside for a rainy blogging day. A little digging through my "use-in-case-of-brain-lock" file led to this.

Female suicide bombers are being fitted with exploding breast implants which are almost impossible to detect, British spies have reportedly discovered.

"Bond ... James Bond."

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".

Hmmm ... "virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines" ... that leads one to believe that some sort of manual search would be necessary ... volunteers, anyone?

MI5 has also discovered that extremists are inserting the explosives into the buttocks of some male suicide bombers.

 
Never mind.

Terrorist expert Joseph Farah claims: "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."

The lethal explosives ... are inserted inside plastic shapes during the operation, before the breast is then sewn up.

... 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 circumvent our defence".

Top surgeons have confirmed the feasibility of the explosive implants.

One claimed: "Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines.

"You would need to subject a suspect to a sophisticated X-ray.

"Given that the explosive would be inserted in a sealed plastic sachet, and would be a small amount, would make it all the more impossible to spot it with the usual body scanner."

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.

Well, at least this gives a guy an excuse to eyeball the babes as we board a plane.


And the gals can check out the men's tushes in the name of security.


Something for everyone...
