Authorities Warning Women Not to Wear Gel Bras As Worries of Possible Female Bombers Increase

U.S. authorities are advising women not to wear gel bras on airplanes as information developed in the foiled London plot points to an expanding role for women in smuggling explosives on to an aircraft.

Authorities at Scotland Yard are questioning a husband and wife, suspects in the London terror plot, about allegations that they were planning to use their baby's bottle to hide a liquid bomb.

Police in the U.K. have recovered baby bottles containing peroxide, including some with false bottoms, from a recycling center close to the homes of some of the arrested suspects.

The use of female suicide bombers has been successful in previous airplane attacks.

When two airplanes went down within minutes of each other in Russia in 2004, officials immediately suspected a terrorist connection. It was later learned that the two suicide bombers were Chechen women. They had both been detained in the airport before boarding their flights but managed to convince airline officials using a little cash and charm to let them on board. Ninety people were killed.

"Black Widows," as they are called by the Russian media, are Chechen women who kill themselves to avenge the deaths of their husbands or other male family members.

There are numerous other examples of the use of female operatives in terrorist operations. Two women with explosive belts were among the hostage takers during the siege of a middle school in Beslan, Russia. Over 300 people were killed; half of them were children.

A woman had planned to blow herself up with her husband in an attack at a wedding in a hotel in Amman, Jordan last year that killed over 50 people. His explosive belt worked, while hers did not.

Gel bras? GEL BRAS??

This chit is getting so ridiculous as to be unreal and unrealistic.

There are Muslim men between the ages of 17 and 45 plotting to rid the Earth of everyone that doesn't worship Allah and they worry about bottled water, sold AFTER getting to the gate, my 3 inch pocketknife, the nailfile on my clippers, and GEL BRAS?

Profile, people, PROFILE!

They make them out of gel? Why?

[Samwise]

They can have my gel bra when they pry it from my cold, dead.....uh, you know.

[AmericaUnited]

Enough explosives to take out a small city...

I will neither expand nor expound on this to keep from getting banned.

No gel bras are real. Some are saline filled as well. A much more natural looking padding than foam or cotton batting. Aren't you glad you asked?

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Each and every outrage perpetrated upon the American flying public is a direct result our government forgetting our second most important law!

How long are we going to allow this to go on? How many Americans must die, before we remember our most important laws?

[LiberalBassTurds]

The authorities have apparently nipped this threat in the bud.

Is that true My2Cents? I certainly hope so.

U.S. authorities, or to be more direct, the bush administration, needs to take some bold action that actually PROTECTS America and Americans - instead of further inconveniencing them.

Begin by immediately canceling all visas, that's right, send everyone who is not a citizen, tourists, students, diplomats, H1B holders, everyone home.

72 hours to get out - and NO ONE gets in! Tell the airlines worldwide, you are not bringing anyone from overseas here, until the muslim world stops all their BS.

Just a first step.......

So what happens on a freezing cold day?

[Salgak]

My God !! NUCULAR BEWBS!!! Will the madness ever stop ???

[Rb ver. 2.0]

We've contemplated boob jobs with explosive gel fillers, but what is the the security protocol for insuring women are not smuggling liquids in containers inside their vaginas?

[LiberalBassTurds]

If you want to see a bunch of exploding boobs, just visit DU.

LOL TChris, good one. :-)

Realizing the potential danger involved, I volunteer to check female passengers for these bras. Yes, yes, I know I could get hurt or killed, but I am dedicated (for the moment) to preserving airline passenger safety.

Hard-knockers.

[Jonah Hex]

OK, I'll take the plunge... who will be the first to get busted?

[Always Right]

Are those explosives in your chest or are you just happy to see me?

[HairOfTheDog]

All these guys are just finding out that many of the jiggles they've admired so long were not real :~)

Sorry guys, sometimes it's just a baggy full of water :~)

[doug from upland]

Or something pulled from an orifice.
