If you thought TSA screenings were invasive when they just fondled you or looked at you naked, imagine just how much worse they could get. Apparently, Al Quaeda-affiliated physicians are looking for a way to create a possible “Frankenbomber,” or a terrorist operative who has a bomb surgically implanted inside his or her human body. Of course, for the moment, the human bomb talk is simply terrorist chatter decoded by the SITE Intelligence Group, and not a real concern… yet.
“What is your opinion about surgeries through which I can implant the bomb …inside the operative’s body?” The interested surgeon said his goal was to kill or terrorize “larger numbers of unbelievers and apostates” before adding, “I am waiting for the interaction of the experienced brothers to connect the two sciences together and produce a new kind of terrorism, Allah willing.”
Of course, security experts say the only way you could detonate a body-cavity bomb is with some sort of external trigger, which would be detected by security screenings. Still, the idea that someone might be walking around with a pound of C4 inside his innards is pretty disturbing. Hopefully this is beyond the power of medical science at the moment.
