LUTON BOMB FIND CLAIM

There are claims in the US that police found 16 bombs in a car used by the July 7 bombers.

The car was discovered at Luton station five days after the attacks which left 56 people dead.

The vehicle had been left in a car park, suggesting the bombers themselves or others intended to pick it up later.

It is thought to have been rented by suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer, who blew himself up on a train at Aldgate on July 7.

Weapons expert for Jane's Information Group, Andy Oppenheimer, said the nail bombs were "low end of the range".

"These were not highly sophisticated devices. They were as nasty, squalid and revolting as any nail bombs used before," he said.

The first pictures of the bloody aftermath of the July 7 bombings were also broadcast by ABC News.

They showed the carnage inside the train near King's Cross on which bomber Germaine Lindsay killed himself and 26 others.

The sides, roof and floor of the train had been blown apart and wires dangled down across what remained of the carriage.

LibSnubber posted an idea of biblical proportions in a nail bomb thread yesterday evening,

"To: MeanWestTexan

"The Paleostinians (spelling correct) also have been known to intentionally recruit bombers with HIV, Hep B or other blood-borne diseases --- bits of infected bone get lodged in the victims."

They want to play with blood-borne diseases do they? Maybe I should start carrying around a vial of pigs blood so if they blow me up, they'll get tainted with that and not get their 72 demons, uh... virgins.

and should get credit. One idea lead to another (good old American ingenuity I guess) and I had the following thoughts...

LibSnubber: you just gave me one idea further, à la the Passover of Moses's Hebrews. Someone should paint the entrances and doorways of every British trains, stations, subway cars and buses (Americans take notice too) with this abhorred "pig's blood" and advertise this big time all about town, then see if there are any more attempts at suicide bombings.

Brits could wear small amulets or packets of pigs blood on their person (or even just a notice or sign that they are carrying such on their person) and thus some of it just may splash and taint the suicide bomber in the act of blowing up dozens of these Brits carrying and wearing this pig's blood, therefore dashing his chances of ever going to heaven, getting their 72 virgins, etc.

Attention entrepreneurs! Packaged pig's blood in hermetically-sealed vials may become the next big item. Like WSA said, they could be worn as amulets. I also said they could be made to look like an inconspicuous adornments on key chains, etc. as well. The point is, if enough people had these on their person, the risk of becoming "tainted" with pig's blood might become too much for a would-be suicide bomber. Heaven forbid they blow themselves up and be forbidden entry to heaven because their body parts got mixed with pig's blood on their way out! /sarc

This wouldn't solve the problem by no means, but it might narrow their killing field by a little bit.
