Boob Bombs Plot Exposed

Fox News alarmists quoting WorldNetDaily's Christian propagandists that MI5 is "Hunting Breast Implants of Death." This is no satire but is being reported as a serious threat to national security. You can, however, read about this revelation at News Corpse.

Thing is, apart from the obvious sniggering this is likely to provoke, there was a satirical piece written in the most recent edition of ColdType.net. "Paying the price of freedom" by Fred Reed includes this "boob bombs" scenario as a scam for airport security contractors to make more money from a roll-out of palpitators and x-ray machines. So, shall we assume that the editor of WND reads ColdType? It sure beats reading WND!

OK, I have no intention of promoting either Fox Nation or WND with a link to them so have found what appears to be the source for both stories... at the Daily Mail!

And yes, it appears to be another scam to make full body scans a normal part of airport security. Nice profit for the contractors.

One thing that has puzzled (and amused) many is how these boob bombs would be detonated. Security sources said the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) would be placed in a plastic sachet inside the bomber’s body and would then be detonated by the bomber using a hypodermic syringe to inject TATP (Triacetone Triperoxide) through their skin into the explosives sachet. But... wouldn't the mere carrying of a syringe be enough to set off alarm bells at airport security? But why promote a logical solution when an expensive one can scare the public into submission.
