It must be a pain to have to explain each time that you are a bionic woman, not a suicide bomber. But come to think of it, here's a suggestion for Islamic Jihad suicide bombers. Get a bomb surgically implanted in one's belly. A fat person could have 10 kg of explosive in there without drawing undue attention. With laparoscopic surgery, it wouldn't even show a scar. The detonator and wiring could be passed off as some metal components holding a pelvis together after a skiing accident a couple of decades ago. The bomb could be set off with a cellphone call within the aircraft, subway, crowded theatre etc. They wouldn't even need to be fat. There was just shown a heavily pregnant woman on tv and what a cover story that would be. They could even BE pregnant in case there is a quick urine test done to make sure they are legitimate. The detonator system could be concealed within an actual artificial hip joint in case the security people want a scan. Come to think of it, 5 litres of sarin could be concealed like that. Once in the aircraft, it could be set off and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The evil-doers could carry a little oxygen supply so they are the only ones to remain conscious. Then they could take over the airliner. By the time the oxygen masks were dropped out, it would be too late to stop it. The best thing to do is racial profiling and scrutinize anyone who reaches a certain rating. It really seems silly to "randomly" take Barbara Bush aside for scrutiny while letting sweating young male Moslems on board without scrutiny because they weren't the random person. Anyone with large "tumours" in their abdomen should get scrutiny. Mqurice
