TSA Warns of 'Implanted Bombs': No Actual Threat

Unsourced 'Implanted Bomb' Threat

The TSA has warned of a terrorist threat involving bombs implanted beneath people's skin. Mind you,there's no specific incident that has been mentioned, nor any particular group moving to carry this out. There is, in fact, no intelligence to suggest that such a plot is even being planned in real life.

In fact, there's only the TSA warning passengers of subcutaneous bombs in what frankly sounds like a ploy to get travelers to stop complaining about invasive searches at airports, and to shore up flagging public support for a system of full-body scanners that are more about lucrative contracts than security.

The TSA tells travelers in the USA to be prepared for "unpredictable" screening procedures, which is another way of saying "we aren't consistently training our staff".

Do not consent to the full-body porno-scanners, as they have not been proven safe. Indeed, questions are being asked over the health effects suffered by TSA workers stuck manning the scanners. Yes, Janet Napoletano said the scanners were safe, but she was not telling the truth.

If the TSA didn't spend so much time crying wolf while grabbing our junk, we'd probably take them a bit more seriously.
