Batty bombers!

Following on from my blog on the naked scanners, according to the source of all banter and bitchery, Popbitch, Al-Qaeda suicide bombers are not only keeping their explosives where the sun don’t shine, they're hiding them from the authorities using David Copperfield style illusion tricks. US intelligence authorities are claiming that would-be terrorists are being sent out to learn magic tricks to help them get their bombs through security checks. Hollowed out coins and fake fingertips could, they say, be used to hide smears of plastic explosives. Not to mention the traditional magician's sleight of hand techniques to help the would-be bomber get past staff at security checkpoints.

I did further anal-ysis on the batty bit and found that one suicide bomber had already detonated his bum bomb. (no this is not a euphemism!) Abdullah Hassan Al Aseery was a Saudi Arabian member of Al-Qaeda, named on a Saudi list of most wanted terrorist suspects on February 3 2009. He set up a meeting with the Saudi head of anti-terrorist security, Prince Muhammad bin Nayef bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, under the premise of wanting to leave Al-Qaeda and supply vital information about the group to authorities. But really he was packing semtex in his arse and he and his deadly package got through two sets of airport security and 30 hours of questioning. The bomb was detonated by text message when he was standing next to the Prince, but the plan backfired because the Prince was only slightly injured, whereas Al Aseery was totalled! And he must have made an awful mess! On a serious note though, this is spectacularly scary and one very good reason why naked scanners make sense!
