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.

I'm always amazed at the products out there that I didn't even know existed.
Look,we can't take any chances here.For the sake of security I'll volunteer to check for gel bras,and profiling is of utmost importance.Only good looking females between the ages of 18 and 40 need be checked !!!
What is a gel bra?
I believe body heat would keep the inserts in their liquid form...Victoria's Secret sells the water version...the augmentation of an implant without the surgery. And I can't believe we all have to think this way now...but we have to. Scary times.
Ummm, is it still OK for me to wear my Male Enhancement Gel Briefs??
Shhhhhh. I said that in another thread and was told not to give 'em ideas.
I feel like this is myth busters right now....
That picture is disgusting. She looks like "mother earth."
Gee's just relax and have a smoke. Oh wait a minute, just relax and have a drink. Oh wait a minute, just relax and do some crocheting. Oh, wait a minute, just relax and listen to your Ipod. Oh, wait a minute....Ah he!!, just buy a 50 million dollar Gulfstream or take the bus and relax!!!
Now, how do they inspect for "Gel Bras"?
I suspect only female securtiy officials get to participate in this process? Or do all women have to start removing their bras before boarding a plane?
Muslim men and women.
If they are Islamic, they don't fly.
White skinned, brown skinned, yellow skinned; old, young, middle-aged; male, female, indeterminate.
If they are Islamic, they don't fly.
Yea baby!
Well, it's good to keep abreast of stories like this. I must say, this is one of the breast pieces I've seen in a spell.
Are we looking at Plastic Surgeons?
Not only could they install explosives in Muslim women, but they could install them in anyone on their table.
They could be remotely activated. (After they've been given a free ticket for a vacation of their choice).
OK...time to profile!
What other body parts will be turned into cocktails from the Ayatollah .
Good Lord!
