Breast Implant Bombs? Heathrow Airport on High Alert

By Jack Phillips, Epoch Times | August 16, 2013

London’s Heathrow Airport has been placed on high alert by U.K. officials over fears that female suicide bombers might hide explosives in breast implants.

U.K. experts said there is evidence that al-Qaeda could go after flights out of London

These implants are special, officials added, because if they are injected with another liquid, it could cause an explosion capable of taking down a plane, according to a report from a British tabloid.

“There are genuine fears over this,” a Heathrow airport staff worker told the Daily Mirror tabloid. “We have been told to pay particular attention to females who may have concealed hidden explosives in their breasts.”

“This is particularly difficult for us to pick up but we are on a very high state of alert. It’s led to long queues here at Heathrow – much longer than usual at this time of the year,” the staff member added.

Officials believe that notorious al-Qaeda bombmaker Ibrahim al-Asiri has developed the capability to implant bombs inside people. Asiri, a former chemistry student, has been dubbed the “world’s most dangerous terrorist” by Time magazine due to his bombmaking abilities. Asiri, who is a member of Yemen’s al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula, has developed bombs that can pass through airport detection, officials have said in the past.

He is considered the mastermind behind the attempted assassination of a top Saudi counterterrorism official in 2009, the failed attack on a Detroit-bound plane in 2009, and another plot in 2010.

U.S. government officials said that his bomb plots are why the TSA has ramped up security in recent years–namely the TSA’s controversial body scanners.

There is a great fear that al-Qaeda are planning on using internal devices to try and get through airport scanners.

Explosives expert Andy Oppenheimer told the Mirror: “These explosives could be in breast implants.”

“There is a great fear that al-Qaeda are planning on using internal devices to try and get through airport scanners,” he added.

Independent security expert Paul Beaver said that there are “serious concerns” over the new bombs.

“There are currently deeply serious concerns over body cavities and implants of all kinds – including breast implants – being used to hide explosives,” he told the paper. ”It is taking longer to get through Heathrow and other airports in Europe and North America because of these fears. They are taking longer to screen people and there is definitely some sort of profiling going on.”

Quite bizarre but very possible. So what is their proposed solution?

Fear Pays: Chertoff, Ex-Security Officials Slammed For Cashing In On Government Experience

After last month's plot to send bombs from Yemen to the United States aboard a cargo plane, former U.S. Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff's whiskerless visage was ubiquitous on cable news. Solemnly warning that the nation needed stronger security procedures, Chertoff patiently repeated his talking points on ABC News's "World News Tonight", "Fox and Friends", CNBC's "Squawk Box" and Bloomberg TV.

Almost unmentioned in these appearances: Chertoff has a lot to gain financially if some of these measures are adopted. Between his private consulting firm, The Chertoff Group, and seats on the boards of giant defense and security firms, he sits at the heart of the giant security nexus created in the wake of 9/11, in effect creating a shadow homeland security agency. Chertoff launched his firm just days after President Barack Obama took office, eventually recruiting at least 11 top officials from the Department of Homeland Security, as well as former CIA director General Michael Hayden and other top military brass and security officials

The worrying thing is that if it is true, how do you defend against it?

i think you have more chance of dying by bee-sting than another underwear bomber.
it's propaganda.
they'll have some patsy set off a bra smoke machine or something.
and we'll hear "PAPERS PLEASE" more often.

i mean look at these stats:

Stop-and-Frisk Campaign: About the Issue

The NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices raise serious concerns over racial profiling, illegal stops and privacy rights. The Department’s own reports on its stop-and-frisk activity confirm what many people in communities of color across the city have long known: The police are stopping hundreds of thousands of law abiding New Yorkers every year, and the vast majority are black and Latino.

An analysis by the NYCLU revealed that innocent New Yorkers have been subjected to police stops and street interrogations more than 4 million times since 2002, and that black and Latino communities continue to be the overwhelming target of these tactics. Nearly nine out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent, according to the NYPD’s own reports.

Indeed, and people will never grasp what sort of conduct will preserve our liberties in the face of foreign aggression.

George Washington's Farewell Address is not considered to be cool anymore. Neither are the shall we say "bloody" historical realities.

i see it like this if these terrorist were the culprits we are told they are then it would have been all out war. they seeing that we are addicted to money,lust,cars ect. would have by now brought us to our knees. they would have highjacked fuel trucks and drove them thru the front doors of wall-mart,everywhere. the people would have been so afraid of this we would have been so afraid of going to wall-mart they would be,by now having a going out of business sale.

they would have paralyzed our economy,the u.s dollar. sure they would have bought lighters and occupied all of the first responders with fires every where. so after a while well,,,either the so called terrorist are complete amateurs or their not really the problem. that is whats the deal with underwear and implants going on to airplanes have to do with a war with a government?

i was taught in statistic bombing campaigns you stopped wheels,,so you bombed ball bearing plants. the result was jeeps stop,tanks stop,fuel trucks stop,food stops,,,ect. and all you did was remove a "ball-bearing",,,but all of a sudden the terrorist who in the beginning of this war had the mental faculty to attack our dollar (world trade center's),but then were not bright enough to continue by causing the whole of the American public to become fearful of going about daily business.

then an navy seal wrote a very damaging book about the death of the leader of the terrorist. that is he stated in his book,we worked our way up the stairs and he opened the door and peeped out,we fired,he shut the door. we entered,he was collapsed at the end of the bed,we fired two shots,in his chest,later we saw he was hit in the head when first encountered.

then the Aurthur goes on,an unloaded ak-47 was at the right side of the door,and a pistol in the room.,,,he was with his youngest wife and she was panicking,,,well we know the rest of the story. several helicopters set down in the compound and navy seals came out and,,,then he was given a burial at sea.

so lets sum it up, the most wanted terrorist in the world,with unlimited cash,is in his pajamas,with his youngest wife. he is in his bed,a bunch of really noise'y black-hawk choppers come and land in his compound. he,with most of the nations of the earth has no back door of escape(for some reason),,,gets up,does not arm himself,does not load the unloaded ak-47 on the left side of the door,gets up and peeps out the door and thinks,,,,,"how come they are making so much noise,they didn't a few days ago when they landed in my compound?),,,

the most wanted man on the face of the earth did not have an escape plan,he was not shot trying to load his rifle or pistol,he was not run down in the midst of his escape. there was no great explosions in the compound leading up to his private room because there was no reason for the members of the most elite body guards protecting the most wanted terrorist on the earth to employ them.,,,the simple fact is the same black hawks landing that day,had landed a few days before,,,i have a coffee cup,few men will understand the chip in the bottom of it,,,,,,,,
