Al Qaeda’s inevitable next step to get around the take-your-shoes-off regime and the naked-scan-and-grope regime

Marcia Kramer at CBS in New York reports that al Qaeda has found a new way of sneaking a bomb onto a passenger plane: by implanting the bomb surgically in the terrorists’ body, say in a buttock implant or a breast implant. To set the bomb off, the bomber would use a syringe to inject the chemical TATP into the explosive implant in his body.

While U.S. security is aware of this threat, it’s not clear what means they have to detect such a bomb.
