I guess these would be called "boobytraps"

"Explosives experts have reportedly said just five ounces of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate packed into a breast implant would be enough to blow a “considerable” hole in the side of a jumbo jet. It would be virtually impossible for airport security scanners to detect the explosive if hidden inside a breast, medics have said."
Via Nothing to do with Arbroath.

  1. That's okay, just add all citizens (and of course aliens) with any form of implant to the no fly list. Aw heck, whilst we're at it, make that "any prosthesis", just to be safe.

    <sigh/>

  2. What's the firing mechanism?? It's not like "she" can just take them out and light 'em up with a bic. Any radio controlled firing mechanism will show up on the new x-ray scanners. Is "she" just gonna beat her chest like Tarzan until they go boom like a Terry Gilliam cartoon?!?

  3. And how would these booby traps be extricated from those breasts during flight? by incising? ... thru what? with a flight kitchen butter knife? ... well I doubt!
