Wow, They Blow Up So Fast!
That's actually a possible al Qaeda boob job I'm talking about in the header. Supposedly, there's intel that religion of peace-ers are sending out female suicide bombers with explosives concealed in their breast implants. Olivia Goldhill writes in the Telegraph/UK:
According to Philip Baum, editor of Security International, body scanners are good at identify objects outside the body but not inside and the "possibility of medically implanted explosives is a concern to the industry."Explosives expert Andy Oppenheimer said: "There is a great fear that al-Qaeda are planning on using internal devices to try and get through airport scanners.
"These explosives could be in breast implants."
Another specialist, who asked not to be named, said breast implant bombs could be set off by injecting another liquid.
The expert added: "Both are very difficult to pick up with current technology and they are petrified al-Qaeda are a step ahead here.
"It's pretty top secret and potentially very grisly and ghastly."
Independent security analyst Paul Beaver said: "There are currently deeply serious concerns over body cavities and implants of all kinds - including breast implants - being used to hide explosives.
Again, this is why we should be following our Constitution and only using probable cause to root out terrorism -- reasonable suspicion, by trained intelligence officers, not feel-ups by repurposed hamburger clerks, that somebody is plotting a crime.
Instead, we engage in the idiotic and wasteful act of treating everybody like a terrorist. The methods we use are well-known, so a person plotting a terrorist act just needs to either bribe somebody or engage in some other method to get around them.

Sadly, we may not be able to send them back to their hamburger jobs...

Breast implants might work as a bomb. But they still probably aren't going to be able to bring down a plane. Or even if they do it will still be more of a luck of the draw than a 100%.
But planting a bomb internal to someone's body would probably make it ineffective.

Sorry for the double post.

You know chemistry really isnt that hard. If this dual component bomb is already so widely known by terrorists and law enforcement why the fuck dont the publish it and let us see foe ourselves the level of the exothermic reaction?
Cause thermite burns hot enough to melt a hole in a plane and they do NOTHING to stop the components for making it from getting thru

We could just ground all the planes. Starting with Air Force One.

Thermite is easy to make. After all, one of the ingredients is rust. And it's readily available; point your favorite search engine at "thermite welding" for some interesting info.
