New Risk To Our Planes ~ Al Qaeda Has Another Technique Ready To Launch

By
Real Estate Agent

 

The latest intell coming from the UK indicates Al Qaeda has developed another plan to blow up airplanes.  This technique is virtually undetectable and cannot be uncovered during security screening.

  • Women suicide bombers are having breast augmentation which includes a powerful explosive in the implant.  The lethal explosive is known as PETN.  It is inserted into plastic shapes during the surgery before the breast is sewn up. 


It has also been revealed that male suicide bombers are having the same type of implants placed in their buttocks.

  • Experts say as little as 5 oz of this explosive could blow a significant hole in the skin of a plane causing it to crash.


The enemy is becoming more resourceful and our defenses are insufficient to deal with them.

What is the solution?
  Our full body scanners are not capable of detecting these explosives.  Can they detect implants at all?  That's unknown.

Should we refuse to allow women with implants from boarding our planes?  How about the men? How do we screen them?

Should we assign seats to those who fit a particular profile?  Should we only allow them to sit in aisle seats?

  • Are we going to wind up with armed guards standing and watching every passenger during the entire flight?   


The first time one succeeds in taking down a plane our airline industry will be paralyzed.  Another major industry in our country is at risk for financial decimation.(Source)

That's crazy and it's the first I have ever heard of this. I can't imagine that type of thinking, but it doesn't surprise me.

Bonnie - Profiling and El'Al questioning is what we need. I dont care if somebodies feelings get hurt because they fit a profile.

Do you know whats hurt's worse than insensitivity towards somebodies feelings?

EXPLOSIONS!

Bonnie - as the trite old saying goes, they only have to succeed once while we have to succeed all of the time. Having flown into and out of Israel several times, I agree with J.P. above that we need to implement an Israeli type system. Yes, we have more traffic in and out, but, it apparantly works there. I can also tell you that it was usually faster than going through security at many of the larger U.S. airports.

Interestingly, there was an article today on Drudge addressing behavioural profiling or detection.

Bonnie,  When Reagan blew up Muammar al-Gaddafi's home killing his daughter it stopped him dead in his tracks.  Perhaps if America would meet terrorist attempts with the same powerful response we'd not even be discussing this stuff right now but America wants to reason with them...YOU CAN'T REASON WITH TERRORISTS!

Now we are going to have to specially train TSA agents to grope everyone before the flight...

I can't imagine hating people this much that I would do something like this.

I thought they were going to love us by now?  But really, there has to be a wire or something they will be able to see?

Bonnie, you are right, To expand on the issue, the terrorists will continue to try to defeat our defenses until they succeed or we wipe them out.  But without peeing anyone off, exactly what are we accomplishing in Iraq and Afghanistan now?  We are just spending money for the war machines in the world, not much different than the social machines here in America. It never ends.  I bet we could take just a few of the great Americans that post to your blogs, find and kill the true leaders of the world problems in a short period of time.  If you kill the head, the body dies.
