Transportation security officials are warning airlines on Wednesday that “human bomb” terrorists may try to use surgically implanted explosives to blow up planes.
Though there is no intelligence about a specific plot, the Transportation Security Administration is nonetheless urging domestic and international carriers to be aware of the potential threat.
The warnings are part of an effort “to provide greater insights into recent intelligence indicating the continued interest of terrorists to target aviation,” TSA press secretary Nick Kimball said in a statement.
“Due to the significant advances in global aviation security in recent years, terrorist groups have repeatedly and publicly indicated interest in pursuing ways to further conceal explosives,” he added.
A U.S. security official told POLITICO that the threat is seen as more “likely to come from overseas rather than domestically but we are taking precautionary steps both internationally and here in the U.S.”
As security measures become more sophisticated, terrorists have sought out new ways to conceal explosives, and surgically implanted bombs are one of the latest tactics that terrorists are believed to be trying to use.

Yep, gotta watch out for those Wiccan terrorists.
I understand that the surgical implantation of explosives is required to be covered by HMO’s under Obamacare.
So next all airline passengers will have to do a CT Scan before boarding a flight
I don’t understand the problem.
Even plastic explosives need wires to ignite.
Right now, pacemakers and replacement knees already trigger alarms on metal detectors.
Wouldn’t the metal on the bomb ‘trigger’ also be detected?
What gives?
Several israeli security companies have biometric computer systems that will red flag a potential terrorist based on human reactions to subliminal images and questions, that they can not control. One of these companies has already testified before a congressional panel.This system would save millions and is much more effective than any TSA agent

My 6 year old granddaughter is more effective than a TSA agent, as recent news stories will bear out.
What is needed here is a method to isolate these nut jobs and trigger their implants in a controlled environment.
