British spy satellites have reportedly intercepted terrorist communications from Pakistan and Yemen centering on women suicide bombers getting explosives put inside breast implants. The former Houston FBI director Don Clark said he believes U.S. Homeland Security is taking this threat very seriously. “Sometimes as ridiculous as it may sound, it can probably be pulled off…Terrorists and terrorist attack are a reality,” he said in coverage by a Boston television station. The British intelligence service reports several plastic surgeons who were trained in many of London’s hospitals have returned to their countries to perform the surgeries. “I’m sure we are gathering all the information, intelligence that the government can” he said. “They are also securing all the ports, airports and main attractions as much as possible. The government takes these types of threats seriously and not relaxed.” A Houston plastic surgeon said that the industry’s technology makes the bombs possible and easy. The Transportation Security Administration says its scanners do detect explosive materials and residue. However, it is unknown how well full-body scanners would detect explosives inside implants.
