Yes, I suppose you could put a few ounces of a liquid or gel explosive into a breast implant, but how would you set it off? Without wires coming out of the skin, large radio receivers and batteries (which would leave less room for explosives), or huge radio transmitters that would look kind of suspicious. ("No, really, Mr. TSA agent, my cell phone has to have this car battery to operate.") If you were going to go that route, it would be a lot easier to have abdominal surgery, and go for the gut, where any person as obese as I am could carry twenty pounds of explosives with no problem at all. And the surgery could be passed off as gall bladder, appendix, hernia repair, stomach banding, or any number of others. You could probably liposuction fat and replace it with explosives. (Yeah, it would look terrible and probably get infected quickly, but what would a suicide bomber care?) With anyone over 50, you could even insert a detonation switch that looked like a pacemaker. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org I walked until midnight in the storm, then I went home and took a sauna for an hour and a half.
