WASHINGTON - Jihadis bent on concocting a "new kind of terrorism" are brainstorming how to surgically implant explosives to make undetectable Frankenbombers.
"What is your opinion about surgeries through which I can implant the bomb ...inside the operative's body?" an apparent mad surgeon recently asked an online forum used by Al Qaeda affiliates. He called on bombmakers and doctors to cook up the perfect solution to murder "larger numbers of unbelievers and apostates." "I am waiting for the interaction of the experienced brothers to connect the two sciences together and produce a new kind of terrorism, Allah willing," he wrote, according to a translation by terror experts at the SITE Intelligence Group.
The scheming comes amid controversy over body scanners and pat-downs in airports that some Americans complain are too invasive. The ideas for a "surgically booby-trapped martyrdom seeker" were chillingly concise for the doctor of death monitored by SITE. Stitching a bomb into the abdominal cavity made of plastic or liquid explosives - such as semtex or PETN - was judged the best method. "It must be planted near the surface of the body, because the human body absorbs shocks," advised one terrorist.

Star!
You're right about the "rough" crowd. It seems no one wants to believe anything until it happens. What is so far-fetched about an implanted explosive? Nothing. Would be terrorists would opted out of a scan and be patted down.
It's really funny that the same people crying about "loss" of rights and "invasion of privacy" will be the same ones to criticize the authority about "why didn't you do this" or "why didn't you do that" when something catastrophic happens.

I didn't know Americans knew how to read. Isn't that why toilet rags which target pre-schoolers like the Daily News are around?
