I recall discussing the possibility of butt bombers after the Richard Reid incident and decided I would not fly until every passenger was given a complete body probe.

The relative amount of explosive is governed by altitude and cabin pressure.

Low amount needed at higher altitudes and vice versa.

Clinton had buttboys. They have buttbombers.

intended to hide eight to 12 ounces of plastic explosive in her vagina.

Sheesh. Tampons are bad enough. But explosives!?!?!?! Well, I guess it makes for an easy fuse. If your cramps are that bad, honey, take some Midol. ;)

if the males get 72 virgins, what do the women get?

144 D-cells.

No, it would be too moist for a fuse. That is the problem that happened to Richard Reid.

There are probably cameras in the lavs on planes.

Maybe a last-minute bathroom break before landing is what diverted that plane to Canada a few days ago.

Why hasn't anybody suggested we simply remove the restroom doors, put up a curtain for privacy and install security cameras in each head?

Why limit the concern to women? I'm sure there are plenty of Jihadist men who would be willing to undergo certain "conditioning" enough to accomodate even more C4 than an average woman.

The recruiting probably would begin in San Francisco, where certain extreme practices have an expanding effect.

I suppose he would be known as the "Poo-Bomber". Or "Shiite Bomber".

You need more than a fuse folks!

But then FR has the ability to turn anything into a fuse and explosive session

Reid attempted to light the fuse and could not due to sweat having dampened the fuses.

I know what 8 - 12 onces of plastic exposives can do. I've seen many explosive shots on the range. I was a munitions troop in the AF for many years.

Reid needs more than a fuse to set off C4 or Semtex. He needs an explosive train to set it off and a fuse alone will not do it. Shock has to be applied - an explosion to set off the main charge. That fuse was probably crimped to a blasting cap.

However, I never heard about the blasting cap in the news and I have always wondered if Reid just didn't know what he was doing.

Have no fear, this will bring down a plane.

I never had a doubt.

What sucks is that if a terrorist is ever successful at a plot like this, we will never know about it. We will just know that a plane crashed.

We'd know, in a couple of hours. n-Nitrosamines and other post-blast products are very detectable, in the part-per-billion range. And when a "piece of meat" was found with extremely high levels, then comes DNA.

We would know who, and with what. PBA can diffrentiate between RDX/PETN etc. quite easily.

I thought you'd take it that way. :)

No, I had my own to deal with.

Good one, reminds me of T-shirts we had made in high school for our Street Home Improvement Team.
