Interesting how this story has (very) slowly made it's way from small mentions like Bruce Schneier's blog to big news outlets. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/09/ass_bomber.html http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/09/ass_bomber.htm... Of course it's not really much of a serious threat: Lewis Page, an "improvised-device disposal operator tasked in support of the UK mainland police from 2001-2004," pointed out that this isn't much of a threat for three reasons: 1) you can't stuff a lot of explosives into a body cavity, 2) detonation is, um, problematic, and 3) the human body can stifle an explosion pretty effectively (think of someone throwing himself on a grenade to save his friends).
