US Intelligence Agencies warn of implanted bombs inside terrorists

I guess they finally got around to watching The Dark Knight:

WASHINGTON – The U.S. government has warned domestic and international airlines that some terrorists are considering surgically implanting explosives into humans to carry out attacks, The Associated Press has learned.

There is no intelligence pointing to a specific plot, but the U.S. shared its concerns last week with executives at domestic and international carriers.

People traveling to the U.S. from overseas may experience additional screening at airports because of the threat, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

My prediction: a pregnant woman delivers by C-section and has the empty space in her abdomen replaced with a chemical pack. After some weeks of healing, she's given the catalyst in liquid form disguised as injectable insulin and sent onto a plane.

Midflight, she goes into the lavatory to "take her insulin," injects it into her belly into the chemical pack, and....

"And what would YOU like?" "No #@$&# apple juice, THAT'S for sure!"

Hard to say whether this is a case of an unstable passenger or overly cautious (or officious) flight attendants.

A man allegedly upset over a long wait for apple juice caused a flight headed to North Carolina to be diverted to Philadelphia.

Officials say the man became irate and used profanity aboard a Delta flight from LaGuardia airport in New York to Greensboro, NC on Tuesday afternoon around 5pm.

The flight was diverted to Philadelphia, where it was determined that the man had become upset over a lengthy wait for some apple juice he had ordered.

Philadelphia police said they won't file any local charges. Later, the FBI said it wouldn't be filing any charges either.

After a thorough investigation, officials say, the incident was determined very minor in nature and no harm was intended.

Fifty-two passengers spent much of the night at the airport until they could be placed on other flights to North Carolina.

One last question: who do the other fifty-two passengers sue for their inconvenience and missed connections?
