News Flash, there is no way short of invasive anal cavity search to catch a “Booty bomb,” as not even a millimeter wave backscatter system can see a booty bomb because it is inside bowels of the perspective suicide bomber.
Now this is PROVIDED it’s done right. Done right means proper “clean technique” (oxymoronic alert — we are talking about something stuffed up the bowels.)
Basically, after the balloon or ballons of explosive is packed and sealed, the person should place them in a cleansing solution that won’t deteriorate the balloons, put that container in a transfer point and get clean themselves.
Not just shower, but use a change of disposable clothing. Preferably, in fact, a change of person doing the explosive packing.
After cleaning he takes the item from the transfer point and finishs cleaning the packages, then inserts them in the carrier.
As a one-man operation, the bomb carrier puts on a head cover, mask, lab gown and latex gloves, and packs the balloon(s).
He then puts the balloons in a soap and water solution that’s in a sealable jar and then puts that into a cooler that barely holds it, that is sitting just outside the room.
Then he throws away the covers.
He then washs the cooler outside thoroughly and takes a thorough shower every day for two weeks.
Ideally he also gets a haircut during this period as well.
Then he dons new garb, opens the cooler and the jar, and dumps the balloon(s) into a NEW container.
Then he takes the cooler and jar and moves them outside the room.
He then starts washing the balloons, and finishs with a lot of fresh water rinsing.
He then places the ballon(s) in a new jar with cleansing solution, puts that in a different cooler that’s just outside the room, and does a repeat of the two week cleansing process.
The carrier or an assistant pulls the balloons directly from the jar, lubes them, and inserts them.
Yes, bowel control is an issue. It can be taught via the use of daily enemas of approximately the same volume and hold.
Once two hours is attained, you go to smaller balloons (neutral contents) and do again.
Reportedly Colorado prison officals found that this was how cocaine was entering some of the prisons, even when drug sniffing dogs were being used.
This is too much effort for most of the drug crews, but it could only get caught by visual (strip) search - spreading the cheeks lets the balloons start to come out.
This method was used by Al-Qaeda to attack a Saudi Prince and likely was used by Abdulmutallab during his 20 minute potty break.
Have you seen the pictures? It looks like the explosives were sown into the underwear.
Still, the HE suppository is probably the next step.
The pictures do show the sewn spot for the explosives, but the fact he went to the restroom before he tried to explode himself tells me he probably removed them and placed them in the pouch swen into his underpants. If you think about it, why go to the restroom right before you blow yourself up? If he did have them in his anal cavity, removing them and putting them in the pouch makes perfect sense on two levels.
One, you have to get back to your seat above the fuel tank and you can’t go walking through a plane with a bomb. Two, if you are caught trying to explode the bomb as he was, the authorities will be looking at the wrong way he smuggled it onto the plane. I still think given the Saudi bomber of earlier this year, that this guy had the bomb in his butt when he boarded the plane.
very good explanation of how this stuff can be smuggled without being detected.
