In response to a Department of Homeland Security warning to airlines that it believes terrorists want to bypass full body scanners and blow up commercial airliners by planting bombs inside humans, the TSA has indicated it will intensify security procedures across the nation’s airports.
“The Department of Homeland Security has identified a potential threat from terrorists who may be considering surgically implanting explosives or explosive components in humans to conduct terrorist attacks,” an advisory to foreign counterparts notes, according to an unnamed U.S. security official.
The advisory says that the DHS believes terrorists could inject a detonating chemical into themselves to trigger the so called “belly bombs”.
The memo also reportedly states “Our Government has information indicating doctors have offered to help extremists surgically implant explosive devices in humans and animals for terrorist attacks.”
The alleged intelligence comes in the wake of recent reports that the next generation of body scanners to be rolled out in airports will literally be able to see inside the human body. Security personnel have been testing machines that use deep penetrating radiation, the same kind hospitals use to examine internal organs and bones.
NOTE: I guess since we keep flying, they keep upping the risk. Their own employees are apparently too stupid to realize the cancer clusters around them.
