Missing the point
U guys missing the point here. Every time one of these nut jobs come up with a new bomb solution it makes traveling that much more of a nightmare. Lets look at it in stages
1) 911 -- Any and every sharp object disappears, 1 hour additional security check and a no fly list
2) Shoe bomber: We now need to walk bare foot, un belted thru security
3) Liquid bomber: Little plastic bags with under 100 ml and god help you if you traveling with a kid you will be sucking from a bottle with a nipple at security to make sure it is milk
4) Undie bomber: Body scanners and last week I got a veggie at Amsterdam as the security guy yanked my undies as it seemed there was some metal in it.
5) So now with the implanted bombs what can we expect: A full colonoscopy?
This is correct. Unfortunately, our respective governments, in their (misguided) mandates to ensure 100% of the population is 100% safe 100% of the time, are dancing to the "terrorists'" tune.
It comes down to the difference between tactics and strategy. Violence and/or the threat of violence is a tactic. The strategy is to disrupt and encumber our way of life, our freedoms and our economy. In that they are succeeding.
