AIRPORT COPS ON BRA BOMB ALERT

By Gary Jones

WOMEN suicide bombers wearing exploding bras could strike at airports, police intelligence experts fear.

Scotland Yard has sent details of the bombs - which are primed to go off as the wearer is frisked by security staff - to all the major airports, including busy Heathrow and Gatwick.

The memo warns one suicide bomber in Colombo, Sri Lanka, killed herself and four police officers. "The device exploded as the attacker was being searched by two female constables," it says.

"The police have determined she was wearing an improvised explosives-laden bra wired to detonate if tampered with."

Millions of Britons will be jetting off on sunshine breaks this summer.

One anti-terrorist officer said: "It may sound a little silly but you can't take anything for granted these days."

The bombers lull officers into a false sense of security by showing their bare midriff to prove they are not wearing a "bomb jacket" - but then the bra explodes.

In 2002 Ayat al-Akhrass, 15, stuffed her bra with Semtex and detonated the bomb in a supermarket in Jerusalem, killing herself and two shoppers .

Beware what you wish for is all I have to say to that. ;)

[spacemanspiff]

this one goes up with preachermans few and rare properly used puns.

:neener:

[bad LT]

A whole new meaning to "stuffing bras."

[Blackburn]

Damn, in my day they used toilet paper..

[P95Carry]

Damn, in my day they used toilet paper.. With devices like that around - you'd need some! :p

[Blackburn]

One of my aquaintances claims to have been walking down a street in israel and being shielded by a 3' wide concrete pillar when a bomb went off accross the street. Said he picked up the head of the suicide bomber and covered it.

Yechy. I'd have been more inclined toward an impromptu game of football in the street. ;) Er, soccer.

Boats..... funny, I just blew quality wine threw my nose!!!

When trapping boobs is outlawed,

only outlaws will trap boobs.

Beware what you wish for is all I have to say to that.

Hmm you're right. OK, only the ones I deem are a "special security risk" ;) :D

[The_Antibubba]

I hope they nip this in the bud.











:D

[Sir Aardvark]

I found your title TITillating.

The explosions caused by these bombs must be BIG ONES.

I'm certain that the explosion caused UDDER destruction.

The people who came up with this innovative method must have really had to RACK their brains.

All hell is going to BUST loose now.

This will certainly show that security people must keep aBREAST of changes in their field.

[Alex45ACP]

LOL!

[P95Carry]

Sir Aardvark - report immediately to chief of puns - Preacherman - and explain yourself!! :p :D

[Phantom Warrior]

I know it's funny, but you know this means TSA is just going to get more invasive in their search procedures.

[Preacherman]

PW, if I were a TSA security type, and knew that a too-thorough examination might have explosive consequences, I'd be rather cautious about being too detailed in my investigations... :what:

[Blackburn]

Hopefully the perpetrators of these heinous acts will end up behind BARS.. or maybe just tasteful small hoops, I prefer those piercings more. ;)

[Jeff White]

Funny but OT
