Brit Intel Warns of Surgically Implanted Bombs

The battle against Islamic terrorism just took another turn:

A leading source added that male bombers would have the explosive secreted near their appendix or in their buttocks, while females would have the material placed inside their breasts in the same way as figure-enhancing implants.

Experts said the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) would be placed in a plastic sachet inside the bomber’s body before the wound was stitched up like a normal operation incision and allowed to heal.

A shaped charge of 8oz of PETN can penetrate five inches of armour and would easily blow a large hole in an airliner.

Security sources said the explosives would be detonated by the bomber using a hypodermic syringe to inject TATP (Triacetone Triperoxide) through their skin into the explosives sachet.

I'm not sure if this really possible or just terrorist's trying to scare us even more. US privacy rights will run head on with safety concerns and cause even bigger headaches for TSA and DHS.

Read the article where they mention that the technology is available but the outcry will be enormous from civil liberties groups.

Tuesday Night News and Notes

Here's what's new, new posts below.

-The Dems are dropping out in droves. Now Sen. Byron Dorgan is bailing in what could be a portent of the way the Dems think the mid-terms will go. That will be a GOP pick up for sure if they don't act their usual stupid selves and blow it somehow.

-Michael Yon is handcuffed by customs officials in what will surely be another embarrassing faux pas on top of many recent ones.

-Yeah, that whole bailout thing is working really well.

-The Obama administration may be different than the Clinton's in one respect; the Clinton's took the silverware while Obama is robbing us so badly with crony schemes that the only thing left may be the silverware.

-Start paying attention to the race for Ted Kennedy's seat. A Republican within 9% is striking and may be another sign this will be a great year for the GOP.

-Nancy Pelosi is shameless. But I'm redundant.

Things That Make Me Feel Safe

A rocket launcher was found in a Jack in the Box dumpster. The ammo was not dangerous and the launcher was no longer functional. That makes me feel better:

In other news, a homeless dude walked through a security checkpoint at Lambert Airport in St. Louis and slept on a plane without notice. The airport security head explained: "There was a breakdown in this layer of security". Uh, do you think?

And finally, some a-hole purposely damaged two UH-37 helicopters at a Boeing facility in PA. Military investigators are on the case.
