Yeah, I thought it was maybe a year ago there was a lot of talk about explosives being carried on by several different hijackers via body cavities. And it wasn't just males that were the mules.

That "talk" followed the downing of a Russian airliner by several Chechnyan women. From what the Russians were able to piece together, the women hid high explosives in their V-jays, pulled it out onboard, combined their packages into one large bomb, and blew the thing out of the sky. Short of requiring an internal x-ray of every passenger on an aircraft, I can't see HOW you would block that kind of terrorism.
