Not much detail here, but I'm calling bullshit. Or, at least, irrelevance.
Yes, I suppose you could put a few ounces of a liquid or gel explosive into a
breast
implant, but how would you set it off? Without wires coming out of the skin,
large radio receivers and batteries (which would leave less room for
explosives), or
huge radio transmitters that would look kind of suspicious. ("No, really, Mr.
TSA
agent, my cell phone has to have this car battery to operate.")
If you were going to go that route, it would be a lot easier to have abdominal
surgery, and go for the gut, where any person as obese as I am could carry
twenty
pounds of explosives with no problem at all. And the surgery could be passed
off
as gall bladder, appendix, hernia repair, stomach banding, or any number of
others.
You could probably liposuction fat and replace it with explosives. (Yeah, it
would
look terrible and probably get infected quickly, but what would a suicide
bomber
care?) With anyone over 50, you could even insert a detonation switch that
looked like a pacemaker.

I walked until midnight in the storm, then I went home and took a
sauna for an hour and a half. It was all clear. I listened to my
heart and saw if there were any signs of my destiny in the sky,
and there were none - there were just snowflakes.
