U.S. warns of body bombs

[Councilman]

What next.

I think it's time to stop lying to ourselves about Radical Islam.

We need to at war witht them and take no prisoners in the process.

Radicala have said and shown that they will stop at nothing hurt us any way they can come up with.

I thinking I have flown for the last time unless it's a private plane.

U.S. warns of body bombs | StarTribune.com
Air security is expected to tighten in light of recent intelligence that terrorists might be considering boarding flights with surgically implanted explosive devices, a U.S. security official said Wednesday. Here are five things to know about the warning:

1Why are the warnings being issued? Al-Qaida operatives in Yemen has discussed surgically implanting an explosive device under the skin of a suicide bomber to get past airport detectors and blow up a U.S.-bound airliner, a U.S. official said Wednesday. One senior Homeland Security Department official said that the new intelligence surfaced about a month ago and had since been vetted. There is no indication of an immediate plot, but "the new intelligence indicated at least a fresh look at this possible tactic," the official said.

2What is the focus of the threat? The Department of Homeland Security has "in recent days" warned foreign counterparts of the potential threat, said Greg Soule, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Agency. The focus is more on international flights, but domestic passengers are likely to see more security too.

Surely we'll be able to wipe them out and eliminate the threat forever.

This scares you enough to stop flying?

Is this your official notice of surrender? Maybe you should surrender on one of the radical Islam websites just to make it official.

The only body bombs I've experienced on flights are from people who ate too much airline food. The stench is insufferable. :shock:

Seriously though... isn't it obvious where this kind of fear mongering is taking us? As if the TSA isn't intrusive enough already.

 

[dontworrybehappy]

"Excuse me sir, is that a surgically implanted pipe bomb or are you just happy to see me?"

 

[rathi]

In Moscow, the terrorists simply blew up the line of people waiting, killing dozens. This security theater BS needs to end. Abusing people who are trying to fly protects no one.

 

[makkam]

Terrorists will strike wherever they can if they want to. Guard one place, they'll find another. Soon you'll be walking around in suits of armor because they're...they're everywhere. EVERYWHERE, I tell you...

You ever heard of Richard Marcinko? He was a retired Navy Seal that went into business checking the vulnerability of airports, nuclear facilities, and other such sensitive places. He REPEATEDLY infiltrated even the highest level of security systems and showed how the security personnel themselves could be made to give information. (that's right, we don't own a monopoly on torture) This proves that to a determined person, they will always find a way in. Just like hackers.

Merca!!!!
:lamo

 

[atrasicarius]

You'd think there was a terrorist attack every Saturday from how terrified people are. In case you haven't noticed, the last time there was a successful terrorist attack involving an airplane was just about 10 years ago, and that was caused by a massive lack of competence in the intelligence community, not a lack of airport security.

oh noes. run.

be afraid. be very afraid.

 

[Demon of Light]

Looks like we're gonna need full-body x-rays and cavity searches. Lots of cavity searches. I'm talking Roto-Rooter here. Not stopping until they reach the back of your teeth.

As long as they're not wearing turbans, we have no reason to be afraid of them, or at least that's what I get from Councilman's threads.

They should instead just sedate everyone before the flight begins... then no one will be conscious to enact any terrorist plan. It would make things more tricky if emergency evacuations are needed, but I suppose our safety and security are more important than being cognizant! Maybe they can just dump the unconscious passengers into the ocean in capsules. No panic means smooth operations!

 

[Opteron]

I'm just wondering, how were they going to find a surgeon to do this, and a usable operating room?

How about if they gave everyone Prozac or Zoloft before the flight, so no one wants to be a terrorist anymore? In fact, just to be safe, we should give Prozac and Zoloft to everyone, all the time! Oh wait, we already do that...

Have you been living under a rock for the last 11 years? Because I don't know what else we've been doing.

What 2 wars wasn't enough for you?

 

[Councilman]

What I would suggest is that we take out the sources like the Radical Imams like those who control Iran.

I see no other way to deal with them do you?

They can hide in plain sight and there is no way to stop them unless we give up what freedoms we have left which are fewer all the time.

They don't have to blow up planes as we have seen attempts to set off bombs in a lot of other places as well as successful ones in a lot of other Countries some Islamic.

Seriously what choices do we have.

We are currently spending a fortune to kill Gaddafi with UN approval and he has posed no major threat for some time.

What is the difference? We can take out the bad guys without warning and at least slow down some of the proliferation.

I am not Anti-Islamic I am Anti- Radical Islam and when Radical Christians go out of control and kill Abortionists I appose them as well.

If you are Anti-American as more people born here seem to be I will feel the same way about you.

Its fear mongering until something actually happens....and then people are up in arms wondering why our government wasn't doing more to stop "those horrible terrorists". That's the way that it was before and during 9/11 respectively...now that the hubbub has died down its considered fear mongering, again.

Kind of like hundreds of thousands of people deciding to live in a city that is below sea level impervious to the threat of a category 5 hurricane.

Just a thought, maybe, just maybe, if we stayed the hell out of their politics, countries and business they wouldn't have so much reason to hate us. The U.S. has spent over 3 trillion dollars on two senseless wars already and now you want to spend more on yet another war? How many Americans did those wars cause to be killed or maimed?

While all of this has been going on we have slashed domestic spending to the core and national infrastructure is rotten and failing.

Americans have sat quietly by, and by default of acceptance have waived many rights in the name of (the illusion of) being safer. We no longer even have a grasp on what domestic spying is costing us, or who is spying on whom, or who even gets the information. Over 800,000 Americans now have security clearance for this purpose.

Perhaps it's just time for the U.S. to mind its own damn business and clean our own house before trying to be some false moral standard for the rest of the world.

Nice thought but way too late for that.

Yes it's time to take the gloves off. We should use methods of bombing that have a ratio of civilian to terrorist casualties of 50 to 1 and imprison torture and kill thousands of innocent people and invade countries that have little or nothing to do with said terrorists. No wait, we already did those things.

 

[Polotick]

I disagree, the sooner we stop meddling the better off we are. I say bring our soldiers home and put them to work rebuilding levees, bridges, the power grid and so on.

 

[krickitt]

Leaving them alone will not make it go away. This is a very old, and very patient, battle. I assume some of you have never read their mission statements. They are NOT going to stop. I could post dozens and dozens of links, but that gets so old after all these years of no one reading them.. Hey, I don't fly, but I live VERY close to the AZ/Mexico border, and they can walk right in any time they choose-- and they do. Here is one link with dozens of links in it, if anyone cares to look at it.
*Anti-CAIR* Defending America from the Council on American-Islamic Relations Weird name, but legit news inside the link.
I heard about the breast and butt, AND tooth cavity bombs last year--working on that in Yemen. Wonder if something has happened that this is just now making MSM news. Or maybe the current admin just pulled this out of the hat to justify bombing Yemen... who knows any more?
