A bit off topic.

Other things that can be concealed in bras — explosives.

Airport Cops on Bra Bomb Alert
From the UK’s Daily Mirror, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

WOMEN suicide bombers wearing exploding bras could strike at airports, police intelligence experts fear.

Scotland Yard has sent details of the bombs - which are primed to go off as the wearer is frisked by security staff - to all the major airports, including busy Heathrow and Gatwick.

The memo warns one suicide bomber in Colombo, Sri Lanka, killed herself and four police officers. “The device exploded as the attacker was being searched by two female constables,” it says.

“The police have determined she was wearing an improvised explosives-laden bra wired to detonate if tampered with.”...

One anti-terrorist officer said: “It may sound a little silly but you can’t take anything for granted these days.”
The bombers lull officers into a false sense of security by showing their bare midriff to prove they are not wearing a “bomb jacket” - but then the bra explodes.

In 2002 Ayat al-Akhrass, 15, stuffed her bra with Semtex and detonated the bomb in a supermarket in Jerusalem, killing herself and two shoppers.

How in the world can we determine guilt or innocence without seeing the contraband?

She should try this in the reverse direction, she’d be facing death.

If she was going the other way they’d have hung her ...BTW it begs the question to what alerted the customs officer? I’ve been to Australia a few times and never was patted down ... although there was this one guy .....

“...What alerted the customs officer?”

That’s a good question.

From the article link in post no. 1:

SNIPPET: “During an examination of the woman’s baggage Customs officers became suspicious she may have been carrying drugs on her body, concealed within her clothing.

A female Customs officer conducted a frisk search of the woman which
revealed inconsistencies around the woman’s bra...”

OPINION:

Anyway, when I saw this bra stuffed with drugs story, it reminded me that all leos, alphabets, special units and security specialists should always remain alert and think out of the box.

Unfortunately, terrorism and terrorists are here to stay and some of them are very creative.

Winning the wot/gwot begins with people who are alert, pay attention and yes, think outside of the box.
