No Wonder Bras Allowed!!
You can separate, but you can't lift. And you can thank the baby bombers.
Authorities Warning Women Not to Wear Gel Bras As Worries of Possible Female Bombers Increase
U.S. authorities are advising women not to wear gel bras on airplanes as information developed in the foiled London plot points to an expanding role for women in smuggling explosives on to an aircraft.
Authorities at Scotland Yard are questioning a husband and wife, suspects in the London terror plot, about allegations that they were planning to use their baby's bottle to hide a liquid bomb.
UPDATE: The ABC News website report seems to be down right now, but I just got me a screenshot. It's in the extended section.

How far are we going to take this? Isn't there a gel in most running shoes nowadays?
Are we going to cower in fear or are we going to destroy our enemies?

I linked to this post from Muslims Can't Handle the Truth but the trackback didn't seem to work.

Well, we certainly thank you for that, bernie! Our trackbacks are cranky devils.

Sorry THS, no visit until they lift the wonder bra ban. Are miracle bras ok?

Well as long as we are thinking out of the box...If they can smuggle drugs in breast implants or in various sections of the lower GI track for that matter, what about women with boob jobs? You could hide a lot nitroglycerin in a breast implant. How are they going to police that? Of course liquid explosives are unstable so bad things could happen to the bad guys before they could execute a plan but still they could do it. Ounce or two up the butt of one of the goat herders could be nasty let alone several ounces in a 38D.

My sister and I thought of the sneaking explosives in gel bras. Beware of DD's!
(just what I need to think about before flying tomorrow)

Hmmmmmm.....major dad, you're right. Sounds like they need people experienced with both breasts and bombs to, ummmm, handle those sort of situations.

They hide the bomb-material in the babies, they need two babies since it's a two-part explosive. To detonate they swing 'em around and smack 'em together...
