WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government is warning airlines that some terrorists are considering surgically implanting explosives into humans to carry out attacks.
There is no intelligence pointing to a specific plot, but the U.S. has shared this information with executives at domestic and international carriers.
The Transportation Security Administration says that people traveling to the U.S. from overseas may experience additional screening at airports.
Placing explosives and explosive components inside humans is not a new idea. But a U.S. security official says there is new intelligence pointing to a fresh interest in using this tactic.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security information.

Posted on July 6, 2011 at 10:55amWell of COURSE….why wouldn’t they? What’s the wonderful TSA going to do to us now? Think it’ll lead to fewer numbers flying. But then again, most people are such “sheeple”, they might go along with whatever intrusive inspection they call necessary for our security like zombies. I already refuse to fly, no matter the inconvenience. The Muslims will always think of ways to get around any of our security measures as long as they have a penchant for using airplanes for their terrorism, which I hear is great. If they finally give up on that, they’ll do other things — we must face the facts about all this. It’s impossible to protect everything and everyone from people who are willing to die – in fact, seek it. Americans must get over our “pride” where we think we can control & avoid these things as in the past & face this enormous problem, among others –

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 4:57pmSadly, you are incorrect @justanamerican. Women have been used as suicide bombers for some time now. A recent article noting that the Pakistani Taliban used their first female suicide bomber was on Fox News at least. Even with that incident, it was not the first time females have been suicide bombers. Females have been used against Israel for many years now. Females have been a significant terrorist threat in Israel for many years.
Simply put: Female terrorists are a significant portion of suicide bombers. One cannot ignore females when searching for terrorists.
Regardless of all that, the TSA is clearly conducting their manual searches in a way to try to force all people to go through their electronic screening. Their actions during physical searches cannot be justified in any rational way. It is clearly a tactic to discourage people from avoiding being contaminated by harmful levels of radiation using their completely unsafe, untested electronic scanners. Ask yourself why they are so intent on getting people to go through those machines.

Posted on July 6, 2011 at 3:07pm“Why do we still put up with these folks?” You mean the TSA, right? I think the only reason this showed up in the press was to keep the public fearful and compliant with all the curbs on personal freedom. It’s quite a bizarre idea and implausible since anyone who had surgery recently would show signs of discomfort and bring attention to themselves. It takes weeks or months to heal from things like that. Bush and Cheney kept telling us about the threat of “terrorists” yet the truth is that an American has a much higher chance of being struck by lightning twice than of being killed or injured by a terrorist act. Israel has dealt with terrorism for 60 years without all the fuss made over it here.
