The latest design from al Qaeda's top bomb maker is a "belly bomb" developed to beat airport security in Europe and the Middle East where full body scanners are not widely used, according to U.S. officials.

According to U.S. officials, the terrorist would detonate the bomb with a chemical-filled syringe.
"We do not think there would be enough to bring down a jetliner, but it is more likely the kind of bomb to be used in an assassination attempt," said one person briefed on the warnings.

Not really, they must have watched the last “Batman” movie - a bad movie at that.
well he sure was good to his brother.....
he ought to keep a bomb packed into his own “rectal cavity” for immediate use
Only Once...but he can be an asshole in many places
Bingo !
I wonder how many brothers he went thrugh perfecting his invention.
President Obomber just announced that TSA agents will force everyone to throw up before they board.
He said he struggled mightly before deciding that rectum exams will not be enough to combat terror. TSA will force passengers to evacuate their bowels before boarding. Niether of these options are too invasive when it comes to the safety of the public.
A handful of FReepers will claim that the dissections are necessary to keep us safe.We have to dissect your butt to save your butt.
Or we could just profile and deny flight privleges.Are you questioning the wisdom of the TSA?
Simple solution. Let Americans keep their shoes on.
Anyone born in one of 15 Mid-East / South Asian countries? sorry, you are not allowed into the USA.
I despise these savages.
Well, at least his brother was 23 had must have consented. I would have thought he would have chosen a kid who had no choice. These people are not even civilized. They are barbaric. Bomb Mecca.
NOSSIR! NO! Please, no more anal rape. You guys are the best!
A muslim contribution to the world.......
Anyone born in one of 15 Mid-East / South Asian countries? sorry, you are not allowed into the USA.
Thank you! Finally some sanity. Stop all Arab/Muslim travel to the US. It's the obvious way to maintain security at home.
If they start using Sigmoidiscopes at the Security screening, will I still need a valid ID?
Easy solution: quarantine all muslim countries. The arabs want anywhere, they walk.
You have to understand that TSA employees are highly trained in human psychology.
They are not only analysts, but therapists.
analrapists
Each and every one of them.
(and yes, they all suffer from Arrested Development)
