Sharia law says you cannot invest your money in Rolling Rock, but it’s fine to cut open your body and insert explosives intended to be detonated when it will kill the most people.
Or am I misunderstanding what these folks are doing:
…Al Qaeda is planning a new stage in its terror campaign by inserting ‘surgical bombs’ inside people for the first time.
…Security services believe the move has been prompted by the recent introduction at airports of body scanners, which are designed to catch terrorists before they board flights.
It is understood MI5 became aware of the threat after observing increasingly vocal internet ‘chatter’ on Arab websites this year.
…
A leading source added that male bombers would have the explosive secreted near their appendix or in their buttocks, while females would have the material placed inside their breasts in the same way as figure-enhancing implants.
Experts said the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) would be placed in a plastic sachet inside the bomber’s body before the wound was stitched up like a normal operation incision and allowed to heal.

A shaped charge of 8oz of PETN can penetrate five inches of armour and would easily blow a large hole in an airliner.
That last sentence is important. If the terrorists implant a shaped charge inside of someone sitting next to a plane’s bulkhead, it’s game over. For those who don’t know what a shaped charge is, here’s a great video explaining how powerful they can be:
I’ve seen the bottom of a champagne bottle, filled with explosives, used to punch a hole in 3/4″ steel. While breast implant bombs may sound funny, they can be very deadly.
