So here’s a fun little thought to take with you the next time you fly: British intelligence has found that al-Qaeda has started hiding explosives in breast implants:

Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery.
…
“Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines. You would need to subject a suspect to a sophisticated X-ray.”

To me, this brings to mind the old line about better mousetraps only leading to better mice. Perhaps, instead of trying ever-more-desperately to defeat the ingenuity of the people who want to kill us, we might try giving them fewer reasons to want to kill us?

Just a thought. But then, I’m a liberal, so what do I know?
