Alert: Terrorists look to implant bombs in humans
AP ^ | Jul, 6, 2011 | EILEEN SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON (AP) - Airlines are being warned by the government that terrorists are considering surgically hiding bombs inside humans to evade airport security. As a result, travelers may find themselves subjected to more scrutiny when flying in the heart of summer vacation season, especially to the U.S. from abroad. The FBI and Homeland Security Department sent a memo to security officials around the country on Wednesday about "body packing," describing it as a "criminal tactic with possible terrorist application."

"body packing"

curiously timed with NY's gay marriage law.

They’ve already done that - in an episode of MI-5.

Or they finally got around to watching Salt.

I wouldn’t put this past the terrorists for an instant.

That said, methinks that Obama’s TSA is simply looking for an excuse to add cavity searches and more invasive measures to the virtual strip searches and full body groping to which they are already subjecting our children, our elderly, our spouses, our veterans, and our fellow countrymen.

Liberals love few things more than the chance to humiliate decent Americans “for our own good.”

Yea, that BS story about an explosion in the center fuel caused by a spark fooled only those who wanted to be fooled. That aircraft was shot down by a terrorist act.

Exactly. Even if the wire shorted to the fuselage, there would be far too much fuel vapors and not nearly enough oxygen to allow an ignition.

You are probably right about scare mongering. After all you need some what to justify what TSA has been doing lately.

Let's look at the complexity of the operation. You need a major medical center with some serious medical help. Otherwise the mortality rate is extremely high. Not the sort of thing that you can do in a cave somewhere. If you do use a major medical center you need absolute operational security - attempting that would only attract attention.

Let's look at the time line. Once you select your mule it will take several weeks before they could travel again. Remember traveling again means they have to well enough not to attract attention as they walk through the airport, wait in line and then enter the security screening area.

The surgically implanted bomb would have to be big enough to bring down an airplane but couldn't be big enough to create a visual profile. Plus it would have to be encased in such a manner as not to generate a reaction , infectious or otherwise from the human body.

IMHO a very complex way to deliver a bomb onto an aircraft. But, with the help of Hollywood (see the ridiculous snuff films of late) something you could panic the American public into believing.

I call BS. We are being manipulated into national submission.

Power grab by the TSA to find more ways to molest and irradiate us.

I agree. There have been so many complaints about their tactis that they felt threatened.

I think radical muslims get off on blowing up their own men... it’s creepy - - kinky. They want to kill us - but there’s a sick blood lust to their methods. No one else kills that way... it makes some twisted sense in Israel because the security is so good. But here? Why blow up people here?

This ‘news’ hit a few months back. Then, the story/thread discussion was full of references to the number of Mooselimb physicians who would willingly slice and suture a bomb into an unsuspecting ‘minor surgery’ victim who would be ‘used’ via a remote detonator.

You need a major medical center with some serious medical help.

That would be a doctor and a nurse. They don't need to make sure that the patient lives for 50 more years. They only need to make sure that he will survive for a month - in essence, they only need the wound to heal somewhat.

Otherwise the mortality rate is extremely high.

It'd be 100%.

Not the sort of thing that you can do in a cave somewhere.

Surgeries can be and were performed in a cave or in worse conditions. The surgeon only needs to know the basic rules that today are known to everyone, and to put the patient on impossibly high doses of antibiotics. Long term survival is not a concern.

If you do use a major medical center you need absolute operational security

A one-bedroom apartment will do just fine. They will simply pick a small room, wrap it in sterile plastic sheets, and a makeshift operating room is ready. Again they don't need to use it more than once, and the surgery they are after is pretty simple.

traveling again means they have to well enough not to attract attention

Or alternatively the patient could be officially fresh from a surgery, be traveling in a wheelchair, with a nurse.

would have to be encased in such a manner as not to generate a reaction , infectious or otherwise from the human body.

Plastic will work well enough, like the one used for breast implants. Those are rated forever. With regard to the size, nobody knows how fat the patient was before the surgery.

IMHO a very complex way to deliver a bomb onto an aircraft.

Yes, that I agree with. Such a method makes sense only for an attack on a specific, high value target. In this case we are simply seeing a cheap way to terrorize the US population without lifting a finger. In essence, terrorists say "Boo!" and the people then terrorize each other.

Reminds me of a joke:

“Hey MY sister’s measurements are 56-34-36.”

“Wow, what does she do?”

“Well, she tries to stand up a lot.”
