New Threats from DHS

There is evidence that suggests that female suicide bombers are using prosthetics to mimic pregnancy with bombs inside of the would-be wombs.

This bothers me on a personal level because I pitched this idea months ago to someone that works for the government and they told me that it was "highly unlikely." The question that should be brought to the table now is what will happen to the women that are actually pregnant? DHS' hypervigilance already has us walking barefoot through airport terminals, are they going to have doctors on standby to examine pregnant women to see if they are actually with child? I also said that I would not be surprised if they used children and now there is evidence that training camps are being opened to kids as young as 10 years old.

This may be considered to be a crazy idea, but I have always believed in the practice of hide-in-plain-sight. Our increased, visible security efforts are only going to push terrorist to become more creative. Perhaps if we gave off the illusion that our guard was down and had a bunch of plain-clothes walking the airports and subways, then maybe the terrorist would make spotting them a lot easier.
