get ready for cavity searches, the threat is genuine
I’d posted some links to older FR threads to back up the point but it got pulled (original poster didn’t like the complaints about x-ray body scans).
There was a bombing attempt in Saudi Arabia (I think) where a man crammed plastic up his rear and another case from England where flights were cancelled because of a plot where a woman had plastic explosives in her hoo hoo.
So it isn’t hypothetical.
Also mentioned TSA’s call for the need to examine saline bags in bras and the like.
“There was a bombing attempt in Saudi Arabia (I think) where a man crammed plastic up his rear”
And that was given a trial run in the USA, some guy had gum, foil, two rocks, wire, and other stuff in his rectum, caught by an airport magnetometer and then cavity search when he seemed very very nervous.
