Sources tell ABC News that intelligence has picked up terrorists discussing the use of prosthetic or medical devices to conceal explosives. The revelation comes as the White House today acknowledged that the implementation of new security measures at airports hasn't gone perfectly.
Americans by a 2-to-1 margin support the use of naked image full-body x-ray scanners in airport security lines, but fewer than half back aggressive new pat-down procedures, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. Opposition to both rises among those who fly with any frequency.
The Transportation Security Administration has come under fire for new body scanners and what some say are highly invasive pat-downs.
Thomas Sawyer, a bladder cancer survivor, said he was humiliated after a pat-down broke his urostomy bag, leaving the 61-year-old covered in his own urine. Sawyer said he warned the TSA officials twice that the pat-down could break the seal.

I’ll never fly again.
Somehow I think Bush would have handled this differently.
I agree. Somehow I think too many folks have forgotten that Bush took the battle to the terrorists.
Obama wants to bring the terrorists to our front door.
Do not Obama’s actions re terrorist trials in New York show his colors?
Obama wants to create a terrorist problem.
George Bush wanted to solve the terrorist problem.
Big difference and thanks for bringing it up.
Bingo and double down bingo. But then again, the terrorists would be offended.
Israel does a good job of it. They look at the people, and then see if it is even likely that they have “bad things”.
I think I read on a thread here on FR that over at DU they were angry about this too.
Weapons of Ass Destruction!!!!
Our hacks in D.C. Need to grow a pair. Terror in one shape or form has always been around. Limited as it was. Today, these vermin are protected by state sponsors who deny publicly any association despite evidendence to the contrary. Our spineless hacks are only too happy to go along with the charade. Hey, selling Pakistan arms is big business.
Since the D.C. Way is worthless, how about joining the terrorists du jour in supplying a little terror to their population. Two can play $4500.00 printer cartridge games, you goat humping sand cave dwelling stooges.
Do us all a favor an open a copy service repair business in D.C.
If you know what’s good for, you will target a common enemy rather than a sleeping giant that will grab your balls, rip them from your scrawny ball sack and shove them down your throat and then watch them roll out of your sawzalled neck.
They can smell that stuff even up your ass. And thats no easy task.
Well this culd lead to some very interesting searches.
Well this could lead to some very interesting searches.
“Americans by a 2-to-1 margin support the use of naked image full-body x-ray scanners” They must have polled Democrat voters (mostly DU’ers).
I know it is an unclean thing to do, but I went over to DU yesterday and I would say DU is more incensed than FR about Obama’s butt checks.
Since Obama was unable to get Card Check thru Congress he in implementing Butt Check instead.
You are right, all Muslims need to be profiled. I don’t care how they feel. Tough sh%$. We need a president that is as tough as nails and the woman running the WH now doesn’t come close.
That’s the point. zero and his commie friends wanted us to “get used” to naked surveillance and genital frisking. Because the next big target won’t be an airplane... it will be a church or crowded mall.
THEN zero’s plan will come to fruition.... naked scanners and genital frisking before entering malls, churches, etc. The commies will have full control of the people at that point, because they will know where to go to round up the people who don’t have any weapons with them.
Profiling? Horrors!
/sarc
LOL!
That’s gotta be a thread winner!
There were instances of women using the vaginal cavity to smuggle various things, plutonium in the case of some eastern european hookers, several pounds of plastic explosive in another case that I vaguely recall.
Current TSA procedures would not detect the explosives, but a rad detector would find the girl with the glow in the dark love.
Wait! Couldn’t King Barrack just ask NASA to reach out to Muslims?
Best thing TSA could do is put a plate of bacon at the checkpoint. You eat the bacon and swallow your in. Don’t eat the Bacon you get scanned
