Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives – usually PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate) – are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up.
Similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers. In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in a buttock. Both are parts of the body that diabetics use to inject themselves with their prescribed drugs.
The discovery of these methods was made after the London-educated Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came close to blowing up an airliner on Christmas Day with explosives he had stuffed inside his underpants.

Hours after he had failed, GCHQ – Britain's worldwide eavesdropping "spy in the sky" agency – began to pick up "chatter" emanating from Pakistan and Yemen that alerted MI5 to the creation of the lethal implants.
A hand-picked team was appointed by Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, to investigate the threat. He described it as "one that can circumvent our defense."
Top surgeons who work in the National Health Service confirmed the feasibility of the explosive implants.
In a report to Evans, one said:
"Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines. You would need to subject a suspect to a sophisticated X-ray. Given that the explosive would be inserted in a sealed plastic sachet, and would be a small amount, would make it all the more impossible to spot it with the usual body scanner."
Explosive experts at Britain's Porton Down biological and chemical warfare research center told MI5 that a sachet containing as little as five ounces of PETN when activated would blow "a considerable hole" in an airline's skin which would guarantee it would crash.

Boeing 747 survives simulated 'Flight 253' bomb blast

Watch the bomb detonate on the Boeing 747

A test explosion on a Boeing 747 has shown that a US Christmas Day flight would have landed safely even if a bomb on board was detonated successfully.
Page last updated at 14:51 GMT, Friday, 5 March 2010
The plane's fuselage did not break in the controlled blast, which used the same explosives that were on Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit.
However experts said it showed the suspected bomber and the passenger next to him would have been killed.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, has denied attempting to murder 289 people.
The controlled experiment was carried out for the BBC Two documentary How safe are our Skies? Detroit Flight 253.
Dr John Wyatt, an international terrorism and explosives adviser to the UN, replicated the conditions on board the Detroit flight on a decommissioned Boeing 747 at an aircraft graveyard in Gloucestershire, England.
The same amount of the explosive pentaerythritol (or PETN) allegedly carried by Mr Abdulmutallab was placed to mirror the location where he was sitting on the plane.
Captain J Joseph, an air accident investigator, and Dr Wyatt both concluded that the quantity of explosive used was nowhere near enough needed to rupture the skin of a passenger plane.
Dr Wyatt said: "If it was a more rigid material then we might have seen a crack or breakthrough but this is actually quite a flexible material.
"I was extremely impressed by the aircraft structure.
"It can sustain quite a hefty thump."
Captain Joseph said: "We noticed the aircraft had lost some rivets but no flight controls were compromised and certainly no fuel tanks were breached.
"I'm very confident that the flight crew could have taken this aeroplane without any incident at all and get it on the ground safely."
Body parts
However, the experts said that the death of the suspected bomber and the passenger sitting next to him would have been traumatic for passengers.
"It would have been quite horrific. Obviously the blast itself would cause eardrum rupture," said Dr Wyatt.
Captain Joseph said the noise and the smoke would have been awful, "not to mention the parts of the bodies that were disintegrated as part of the explosion".
But Captain Joseph said the experiment could help to put air travellers at ease: "I think this should be a confidence-builder for passengers.
"After seeing... how well the aircraft maintained its structural integrity, and obviously the pilot's capacity to fly the aircraft, it should give them a great deal of confidence."
For security reasons, they could not go into specific details of blast damage inside the cabin of the test Boeing 747.
Kip Hawley, the former head of the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said: "We can be sure that al Qaeda and others have taken lessons from their failed attempt and this program allows the public to be privy to some of those lessons.
"An active and engaged public can not only be a layer of security but can be more effective in demanding the kind of security that will work.
"The explosives analysis done by Dr John Wyatt gave a realistic picture of the effects of a carry-on bomb roughly similar to the one used on Christmas Day.
"The point that today's airframes are more resilient than many imagine is a critical point.
"Governments do very sophisticated testing similar to what Dr Wyatt demonstrated and those results inform security measures you see in airports today.
"Specifically, it was that kind of testing that led to the decision to allow 100ml of any liquid, carried in a sealed one-quart baggie, to be brought through security."
Dr Wyatt's test results are to be shared with governments and aviation security experts around the world.
How safe are our Skies? Detroit Flight 253 [ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00r902b ] was broadcast on BBC Two on Thursday 4 March, at 2100 GMT. Watch it again on BBC iplayer [ http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ ].

Some readers have questioned the validity of the experiment given that the plane was tested on the ground. The programme-makers gave this response:
At the time of the attempted detonation, Flight 253 was descending rapidly and its altitude has been estimated to be around 10,000ft.
At that height the difference in pressure inside and outside the plane would not have been great enough significantly to affect the explosion.
So the explosion team ruled that the decommissioned plane's lack of doors was not a factor in the test.
With this quantity of explosive, the peak pressure and impulse are over quickly and decay rapidly over distance. The doors were sufficiently far away that the overpressure would have dissipated before it reached them.

Joseph Farah, to cheers at Tea Party Convention, again questions location of Obama's birth

If the National Tea Party Convention hoped to keep its focus on political organizing and its message on limited government, it has had little success so far.
Capping the first full day of the meeting, right-wing instigator Joseph Farah spent much of his dinner speech questioning whether President Obama was born in Hawaii and casting doubt on whether the president was legitimately elected.
“The media, the politicians … all say, no, it’s all been settled. I say, if it’s been settled show us the birth certificate. Simple,” Farah’s said, as his remarks were cheered by the roughly 600 activists gathered in Nashville for the event.
Farah runs WorldNetDaily.com, a conservative tabloid, book publisher and tireless critic of the administration ["Joseph Farah found his calling in Obama-bashing/Not to mention his ticket to wealth. The founder of WorldNetDaily.com says revenue is headed toward $10 million annually, thanks to articles and merchandise that make even fellow conservatives cringe.", http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jan/27/nation/la-na-worldnetdaily27-2010jan27 ]. He dismissed those who say he is obsessed with the birth certificate issue saying, “I admit it, I’m obsessed with the Constitution.”
Farah said he believed establishing lineage was important for leaders, using Jesus’ genealogical ties to King David as an example. Obama has produced his official Hawaii birth certificate; though those associated with the “birther” movement claim they want to see a copy of the original document issued.
Farah’s comments followed remarks from former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo on Thursday night in which Tancredo called Obama a “committed socialist ideologue [ http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb/06/nation/la-na-tea-party6-2010feb06 ].”
Farah went on to urge tea party activists to think beyond winning congressional elections in November and “take over not only the political institutions, but the cultural institutions, like the press, the entertainment industry, the universities, and yes the churches.”
“Are you ready to engage in a cultural war after we take back Congress?”
“Yes!” the crowd yelled back.
