Countermeasures for Surgically Implanted Bombs?

Posted October 19, 2009 8:09 AM by Sharkles

Terrorists continue to test the efficacy of security checkpoints via novel methods to conceal IEDs. The latest worrisome threats include surgically implanted bombs and explosives concealed in pregnancy prosthetics, according to HS Today reports. While security checkpoints can detect bombs concealed inside clothing, they cannot detect explosives hidden inside the human body. Should X-ray scanners with questionable safe levels of radiation be used on everyone or can new technologies be developed?
