Al-Qaida hiding bombs in breast implants, says MI5

LONDON: Al-Qaida is laying deadly “booby traps” by equipping its female suicide bombers with explosive breast implants that are impossible to be detected at airport security checkpoints, British intelligence agency MI5 has claimed.

“Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery,” the British newspaper Sun quoted terrorist expert Joseph Farah, as saying. . . .

This is going to open up a whole new job category at the TSA. Count me in!

Brings a whole new meaning to booby trap! And as funny as that is, this is not a laughing matter.

"Depress right nipple to arm the bomb..."

That is ridiculously funny and incredibly disturbing at the same time.

It just goes to show you that when people are determined to attack you and are willing to die in the process it is virtually impossible to stop them all.

MI5 is part of the British government. So, if they tell me it's March this month, excuse me while I go check the calendar.

Uh, why perform surgery when they could just stuff explosives into the rectum and vagina?

BTW, Google shows this article only from TheSun and Fox and Times of India. Is there a real news report or did TheSun just make this up?

Duh, the police already check there!

Duh, the police already check there!

They do? Please tell us about the last time you had your rectum examined before boarding a plane. Wait, don't tell us.

This, of course, is bad news, but was bound to happen eventually.

Not really.

Lotta good those new fancy body scanners are going to do against that.

I fly A LOT. I'm honestly not worried about any of this. If a group of people is determined enough they will always manage to get around safeguards we put into place. But if I let this scare me away from airports or agree to having my civil rights limited, I'll have essentially given in to them. Bottom line, even with nut jobs like Al Qaeda et al. I'm much safer in the air than a lot of other places I have to be.

I can only imagine the checks the British are going to introduce to check for bombs in breast implants

Talking about those fancy new airport scanner thingies, an operator was caught being a perv with one yesterday. I can't see them lasting much longer.

Many muslim women cover themselves head-to-toe in black robes (ninjas)......getting valid passport photographs was a hurdle , it will be interesting to see how western airport security will address the issue of examining their breasts now.

Where do these clowns get the money to do all this ? Not to mention willing volunteers ?!

[Simon]

Well, I'd assume if you can find somebody willing to blow themself up, you can also find somebody willing to get a breast implant first.

Hey, I have one as well:

If true, it's not a surprising move in response to the body scanners. The more you try to control people, the more difficult some people become to control.
