There is no intelligence pointing to a specific plot, but the U.S. shared its concerns last week with executives at domestic and international carriers.

People traveling to the U.S. from overseas may experience additional screening at airports because of the threat, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

I guess that means that TSA agents will now have to start doing cavity inspections and giving stomach massages (on a random basis, of course...just grandmothers and 7 year old children) to counter this threat.

who packed explosives into the rectal cavity of his 23-year old brother Abdullah for a suicide missions

Butt bombs, explode from rectal cavity. I was next to one of these guys on a flight to LA last year.

“We do not think there would be enough to bring down a jetliner, but it is more likely the kind of thing that would make a big mess—depending on what the perp had for lunch,” said one person briefed on the warnings.

Oh good - now the TSA will be cutting us open on dissection tables.

Individuals who refuse will be arrested. States that refuse will be denied air traffic. A handful of FReepers will claim that the dissections are necessary to keep us safe.

Only Satan inspires sick crap like this and also influences TSA in dealing with it..

U.S. officials told ABC News the "belly bomb" is the invention of Ibrahim Asiri, a young Saudi native

And people still say that Islamists haven't made significant contributions in the area of science and technology.

My belly bomb is due to detonate on or around September 4th. She'll probably detonate a little early, but hopefully not before September 1st or that will really screw up my mother's ring plans. Yet another reason not to fly: I don't need TSA disassembling a $400 breast pump in the name of homeland security.

[Lazamataz]

Well, great. There's no solution I can see for this one.

Xrays won't be 100% effective.

Only exploratory surgery on every passenger will work.

[Lazamataz]

Or we could just profile and deny flight privleges.

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.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see this as just an excuse for Big Sis to push everyone into these scanners since it is the only way to detect these poorly thought out bombs?

[God luvs America]

did anyone say "belly bombs"???

[Grizzled Bear]

According to U.S. officials, the terrorist would detonate the bomb with a chemical-filled syringe.

Great. I feel sorry for the poor, diabetic SOB who needs to inject insulin while flying.

Making up reasons to check the old white ladies diapers. Nothing more!!!

Were Russian Planes Detonated by Al Qaeda Women Smuggling Bombs Inside Their Genitals?

[Enchante]

well he sure was good to his brother.....

he ought to keep a bomb packed into his own “rectal cavity” for immediate use

[BuffaloJack]

I wonder how many brothers he went thrugh perfecting his invention.

[winodog]

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.
