Pictures of the exploding underwear<br \/>\n\u201cbomb\u201d have now surfaced on the \u2018net. You can view<br \/>\nthem at ABC News: <a  href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Blotter\/northwest-airlines-bomb-photos\/story?id=9436297\">http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Blotter\/north\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is exactly what the text on this page says (I\u2019m not<br \/>\nmaking this up, this is seriously true): (warning: Some of the content<br \/>\nhere is graphic, read at your own <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/risk.html\">risk<\/a>\u2026)<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe first photo, to the left, shows the slightly charred<br \/>\nand singed underpants with the bomb packet still in place.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what you think, but if you did an underwear<br \/>\nsearch of all the passengers flying these days, you\u2019d probably<br \/>\nfind <em>half of them are wearing underwear that\u2019s slightly charred and singed with the \u201cbomb packet\u201d still in place<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The gastrointestinal <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/health.html\">health<\/a> of the general population is atrocious! And by the time you add in some airport food and in-flight <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/processed_food.html\">processed food<\/a><br \/>\nsnacks, pretty much everyone on the airplane is setting off a little<br \/>\nbomb packet by the time they get off the plane. (Why do you think<br \/>\neverybody can\u2019t wait to get off in such a hurry?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Processed <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/food.html\">food<\/a> has turned us all into in-flight <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/terrorists.html\">terrorists<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s more of a threat to public health: Lousy <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/airport_security.html\">airport security<\/a> or the digestive effects of in-flight meals. But they both have one thing in common: Underwear\u2026<\/p>\n<h1>How to explode your rectum without harming anyone nearby<\/h1>\n<p>The ABC News story mentioned above goes on to state that this<br \/>\nterrorist\u2019s underwear was packing 80 grams of an explosive powder<br \/>\ncalled PETN, which government tests have revealed can blow a (tiny)<br \/>\nhole in the wall of an airplane.<\/p>\n<p>This is all brilliant stuff, of course. Truly brilliant. This whole<br \/>\nidea that underwear explosives might destroy an airplane all makes<br \/>\nsense except for the fact that <em>the terrorist\u2019s butt cheeks are in the way!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Had this explosive packet actually been set off, I can tell you<br \/>\nexactly what would have happened: There would have been a really loud<br \/>\npop, immediately followed by in-flight pieces of exploding butt cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not trying to be funny here. This is a true description of the way bombs work. They explode <em>outward<\/em>,<br \/>\ndestroying whatever is closest to them first. And this guy actually had<br \/>\nthis bomb wedged in between his butt cheeks. A sort of \u201cwedgie<br \/>\nbomb\u201d, if you will. A wedgie with a bang.<\/p>\n<p>This is a serious discussion. There was an attempted assassination<br \/>\nof a Middle Eastern prince that happened not long ago. It was even<br \/>\nreported in the press. The assassin had somehow managed to shove<br \/>\nexplosives into his rectum \u2014 I swear I\u2019m not making this up<br \/>\n\u2014 and waltzed right through security with it. He then shuffled<br \/>\ntoward his target, fired off the bomb and subsequently blew his butt<br \/>\ncheeks all over the room\u2026 without harming anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Brilliant, huh?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think about it<\/strong>. In World War II films, you know how<br \/>\nyou always see brave soldiers throwing themselves on an enemy grenade<br \/>\nto protect their squad buddies? <em>That actually works<\/em> because whoever is on top of the grenade absorbs the explosion. It\u2019s basic physics.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of super wedgie terrorist, <em>he\u2019s <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/sitting.html\">sitting<\/a> right on top of the explosive powder!<\/em> Who do you think is going to absorb the full force of the explosion? It\u2019s going to be the guy sitting on it.<\/p>\n<p>This is physics 101. A small bomb in somebody\u2019s underwear is really only a threat to the idiot wearing the underwear.<\/p>\n<p>The first rule of making bombs is that you probably should not be sitting on top of them when they go off.<\/p>\n<h1>Please remove your shoes and your underwear\u2026<\/h1>\n<p>Predictably, U.S. authorities have now talked this up into a huge<br \/>\nsecurity threat. And sooner or later, it\u2019s all bound to lead up<br \/>\nto <strong>mandatory underwear searches!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I can see it now: A row of air passengers stands nervously at the gate, nearly ready to board the plane when <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/TSA.html\">TSA<\/a><br \/>\nenforcers approach and suddenly demand that everybody bend over and<br \/>\npull down their underwear for a quick search for<br \/>\n\u201cexplosives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, most Americans are so brain-numbed by security propaganda, they would probably go along with it!<\/p>\n<p>So why not just go all the way with this and pass a new TSA rule requiring all Americans to <strong>fly with no underwear!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The captain comes on the intercom, saying, \u201cVisibility is 80<br \/>\nmiles, we\u2019re climbing to 29,000 feet, and we\u2019re expecting<br \/>\nthis flight to be <strong>a little breezy<\/strong>\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yep, it\u2019s undies off when boarding planes from now on. As you pass through security, you can toss your <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/water.html\">water<\/a><br \/>\nbottles in one bin, your underwear and panties in another bin, and your<br \/>\nself respect in a third. Essentially, if these security searches get<br \/>\nany more personal, they\u2019re going to undress us from head to toe<br \/>\nand make us wear <strong>medical gowns<\/strong>, chained to our seats<br \/>\nlike convicts in a prisoner transport plane. Once we land, we can<br \/>\nreclaim our underwear and, if we\u2019re lucky, a bit of our lost<br \/>\npride.<\/p>\n<h1>Your <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/bra.html\">bra<\/a> just might contain a bomb\u2026<\/h1>\n<p>Don\u2019t you just love how air <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/travel.html\">travel<\/a><br \/>\nauthorities keep coming up with new stuff that you have to throw away<br \/>\nbecause it might be a bomb? Remember when we could bring actual water<br \/>\non airplanes? Those were the good old days.<\/p>\n<p>Then one day they declare \u201cYour water might be a bomb!\u201d<br \/>\nSo millions of passengers now ditch their water at the security gate,<br \/>\nthrowing it all to waste.<\/p>\n<p>Then they came up with the idea that terrorists could \u201cmix<br \/>\nbinary liquids\u201d to make liquid bombs in the airplane toilet, and<br \/>\nthey used that to ban all liquids. So much for your toothpaste, contact<br \/>\nlens solution, herbal tinctures and superfood beverage. Toss it in the<br \/>\ntrash if you want to get on this plane, buddy!<\/p>\n<p>Now <strong>they\u2019re going after your underwear.<\/strong> And<br \/>\nit won\u2019t be long before you have to strip down to your birthday<br \/>\nsuit and hand over your undies for an \u201cinspection\u201d \u2014<br \/>\nright before they send you through the low-frequency X-ray machine that<br \/>\nscans your body parts and displays them on a screen as if you were butt<br \/>\nnaked.<\/p>\n<p>Just wait for a female terrorist who hides some explosives in her<br \/>\nbra one day. Following that, a new TSA security rule will be initiated<br \/>\nand all flights will become <em>bra-less<\/em>. No underwear, no bras, no water\u2026 what the heck is happening here? Are <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/airlines.html\">airlines<\/a><br \/>\ngoing to shave our heads and tattoo barcodes on our arms, too, just in<br \/>\ncase they lose track of which person was handcuffed to which seat?<\/p>\n<h1>Absurd security<\/h1>\n<p>This is all getting beyond the point of absurdity. If a terrorist<br \/>\nwants to pack a little explosive powder and stuff it down their pants,<br \/>\nor up their rectum, or have it surgically sewn into their abdomen, <em>there\u2019s nothing we can do to stop that<\/em> short of strip-searching every single passenger.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s not security: That\u2019s just a <strong>demeaning police state<\/strong> that treats its own people like criminals. If we all have to fly without underwear and bras, <em>the terrorists win!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Besides, all this ridiculous security <strong>isn\u2019t about saving lives<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIf U.S. authorities wanted to save lives, they would ban aspartame, or<br \/>\noutlaw chemotherapy, or arrest the crooks at the drug companies who are<br \/>\nkilling over a hundred thousand people every single year \u2014 a far<br \/>\ngreater number than those killed by in-flight acts of terror (even<br \/>\nincluding 2001 and 9\/11).<\/p>\n<p>Even if there were <em>no airport security at all<\/em>, the risk of being killed by an in-flight act of terror would be a fraction of the risk of being killed by <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/pharmaceuticals.html\">pharmaceuticals<\/a><br \/>\nin any given year. So why are U.S. authorities going crazy about<br \/>\nairport security when so many Americans are dying from pharmaceutical<br \/>\ntoxicity every single day? Statistically speaking, the number of people<br \/>\nkilled by dangerous prescription medications is equivalent to one jumbo<br \/>\nair liner falling out of the sky and crashing to the ground <em>every single day<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet that threat to health and safety goes entirely unmentioned. Un-investigated. Un-noticed.<\/p>\n<p>So while over 100,000 Americans are dying each year from dangerous<br \/>\nmedications, the mainstream media has us all fixated on a pair of <em>exploding underwear?<\/em> Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing has become a complete circus. Real threats to your<br \/>\nsafety are ignored while miniscule threats are hyped up as if they were<br \/>\nlife-and-death to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, amazingly, <em>most air travelers still go along with it!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This just goes to show you how easily the population can be<br \/>\ncontrolled by fear. I never thought that a photo of a pair of singed<br \/>\nunderwear would scare a hundred million adults into giving up their<br \/>\nfreedoms, but this is what has apparently taken place.<\/p>\n<h1>How about zero-security flights?<\/h1>\n<p>Here\u2019s an idea: Airlines should offer optional <strong>zero-security flights<\/strong>.<br \/>\nOn those flights, there are no security checks. Anyone with a valid<br \/>\nconcealed-carry permit could bring any weapons they want, and the pilot<br \/>\nand co-pilot can be armed, too. You can pass right through security<br \/>\nwith no X-rays, no checks, no delays. You simply sign a disclaimer and<br \/>\ngo right from the check-in counter to your boarding gate with zero<br \/>\nhassles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I would gladly fly on these zero-security flights<\/strong>.<br \/>\nYou know why? Because 99.99% of the people flying on those planes would<br \/>\nbe cops packing heat, ex-military people packing heat and<br \/>\nconcealed-carry citizens packing heat. Any terrorist stupid enough to<br \/>\ntry something on such a flight would find himself facing a<br \/>\ncitizen\u2019s army of vigilant passengers.<\/p>\n<p>Zero-security flights would be the safest airplanes in the sky,<br \/>\nbecause no terrorist, hijacker or violent criminal would dare board one.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, we all get to keep our underwear on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"crp_related\">\n<h3>Related Posts:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2009\/12\/28\/man-videotaped-underwear-bomber-on-flight-253.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Man Videotaped Underwear Bomber On Flight 253<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2009\/12\/30\/bombshell-evidence-clearly-indicates-staged-attack-on-detroit-flight.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">BOMBSHELL: Evidence Clearly Indicates Staged Attack on Detroit Flight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2010\/01\/01\/billions-in-recent-yememi-investments-and-the-underwear-bomber%e2%80%99s-daddy-it%e2%80%99s-a-small-world-ain%e2%80%99t-it.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Billions in Recent Yememi Investments and The Underwear Bomber\u2019s Daddy.
