Why aren't saline implants banned?
If the following are correct:
1) Most people who have saline implants have at least two of them
2) The alleged perpetrators needed at least two seperate components to mix in order to make an explosive.
3) The alleged perpetrators were willing to sacrifice their 6-month-old so cutting into a body part would not be much discouragement to them.
The TSA must ban saline implants now!

I don't know if they'd be willing to go to the risk, but I know that there can be "ports" just under the skin for the adding and removing of fluid from implants. All it takes is a syringe. A pair of implants, once each filled with half of an explosive, a diabetic kit, and an empty water bottle. That's all it would take, right?
Clearly, the fake boobies have to go.

On a realted note: The so called "Water Bras" apparently do not contain water but a gel-like substance. Since gel insoles are prohibited, are women now being felt up looking for water bras? Or is this just another of TSA's wonderful inconsitencies?

I wonder what the reaction would be if a clearly male passenger were to go through a security checkpoint wearing a (well padded) bra? What if he claimed implants?
Just curious.

What about someone in the process of gender reassignment who has gel "breasts" in a bra but has yet to undergo surgery? Wouldn't it be discrimination for the TSA to force them to give up part of their gender identity in the name of safety?
(OK, I know this applies to very few people, but it seems a valid point to me)

I would like to volunteer to be a water bra inspector. And yes, I would profile. I have always thought that terrorists would next use attractive women.
