No "gel bras" for women. What about breast implants?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

How are they going to check implants for explosives?

Semi serious question

1. No gel bras?

That's going too far. Now I'm pissed.

[pooja]

6. Who cares? Bras are meant to be worn to give a woman support

I don't give a crap about inflating my chest unaturaly anyway... If anything I would get a reduction. Let me just tell you, large breasts are heavy and do nothing for your back. Men need to get over the infatuation with a milk machine and women need to get over living with what they got.

[LoveMyCali]

7. They have bras

that have gel in the straps so there is added padding for large chested women who tend to have more pull on their straps than others. The gel doesn't add to your chest unless there is another kind of gel bra also.

If you're big enough to need one of those bras there might be more of a danger trying to walk onto the plane without a bra than if the thing exploded anyway.

[OwnedByFerrets]

9. Honestly, I care because

its just another clue to the absolute stupidity of the administration. How stupid/ridiculous can they get?

[sam sarrha]

43. keep watching.. you haven't seen anything .. he hasn't hit rock bottom yet

[Berserker]

12. Now hold on a second

Men need to get over the infatuation with a milk machine and women need to get over living with what they got.
Who puts that stuff in bras? Men or women? As a man I could care less about how big a womans breast is but it seems women sure care.

[TahitiNut]

42. High five, bro'!

Word! :thumbsup:

[sam sarrha]

44. masectomy patients use em to ballance their figures. you cant falult that

[TahitiNut]

45. My aunt uses polyester and velcro.

There's never been a double mastectomy patient with a better attitude in history. :shrug:

[Freedom_Aflaim]

14. Men getting over breasts?

yea, that'll happen soon

lol

[wtmusic]

22. They're just milk machines

Billions of men are just...uninformed. :crazy:

[aikoaiko]

24. I read recently that human female primates are the only ones with

breasts that are "inflated" when no breast feeding. As such they may be considered more than "milk machines" in the sexual strategies of the sexes.

[BlooInBloo]

34. It can be said all people want to say it. It's just false.

Boobies are not JUST milk machines.

Although I suppose I can appreciate some women wishing it were so.

[TahitiNut]

38. Well, SOME of us aren't wannabe dairy farmers

Sheesh! :eyes: I was weaned just fine, thank you.

[NaturalHigh]

32. "Men need to get over the infatuation with a milk machine."

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

[BlooInBloo]

33. Well that settles it - not important to you, not important to anyone!

Glad that one's settled.

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

40. SOME "Men need to get over the infatuation," thank you.

This particular man has understood what being a mammal means for quite some time, thanks. Whatever "infatuation" I've had for breasts ceased when I had teeth and started eating solid foods. Don't get me wrong. I certainly appreciate the healthy female anatomy ... and feel a "warm fuzzy" when I see a mother nursing her infant. But I do NOT infantilize myself, thanks.

On the other hand ... the sight of Jessica Alba's tush in a bathing suit - wow! :evilgrin:

[Warren Stupidity]

2. The whole thing is stupid.

Life has risks. It seems that boobytrapped women are now a very minor additional risk.

[niallmac]

3. Bay formula is exempt right? Why? n/t

[mwooldri]

11. Baby formula is exempt. But AFAIK the parents have to taste it. (nt)

[catmother]

4. inasmuch as i burned my bra in the 60s and don't wear one i

don't even know what a gel bra is.

[ellenfl]

5. i was wondering that myself. i guess i'll find out next week. eom

[Kagemusha]

8. I asked a friend. He replied, 'They're inaccessible.'

Therefore implants aren't an issue.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. Oh please.

The terraist sneaks into the bathroom, performs major surgery on her chest, mixes the two gels, one from each excised breast implant, into a volatile explosive, returns to her seat and proceeds to blow the plane up using her wristwatch battery as a detonator. With a few practices I'm sure anyone could learn to perform this simple procedure.

[wtmusic]

21. Or how about

the terraist (who's going to die anyway) gets breast implants filled with live explosive (no mixing necessary).

Where there's a will there's a way.

[Kagemusha]

29. You forgot about detonators, and this has to defeat x-rays.

Should've put that in my first reply, but I didn't wanna fuel the silliness further if I didn't have to.. no big deal though.

[wtmusic]

30. You seem to be fairly confident

that we can dream up countermeasures fast enough to keep up with a determined airplane bomber. Probably most of us, on Sept. 10, 2001, would have considered the idea of using box cutters to hijack airplanes "silliness" too...

[Warren Stupidity]

31. I'm just wondering why exactly

with all of these determined airplane bombers out there willing to have explosives implanted in their bodies we have had exactly zero actual viable attempts (I dismiss the ridiculous shoe bomber) to blow up airplanes. Your risk of being killed by lightening is vastly greater than the, it seems, vanishingly small risk that human bombs represent to airflight.

You want to live in a constant state of fear and panic, be my guest, but I suggest that you go get some happy pills and get over it.

[wtmusic]

35. "Ridiculous" shoe bomber?

Richard Reid was within seconds of bringing that jet down, by all accounts. What would be ridiculous is the big stain in your pants if you were one of the passengers getting off that plane...

A reasonable foreign policy is all we can do to stop them, and it's a little too late for that. I'm not afraid--I'm also not naive.

[Child_Of_Isis]

10. How would they know if you have one on?

Are they going to be feeling us up?

How embarrassing if I got detained due to my prosthesis.

Would I have to remove it in front of everyone and let them check it?

I shudder at the thought.

[givemebackmycountry]

15. Exploding Titties!

God, now that's a wet dream!
E-VAN-GEL-I- CALS have warned us for decades about the dangers of titties.
Now it's the MONKEY administration telling us they are dangerous.

I would not shed a ounce of my blood for this simpletons agenda.

I would die to protect the right for a woman to make her body more attractive.

Here's a way around this...

As a woman goes through a security check play...

BOUNCE YOUR BOOBIES!

It's Friday yer Bastids!

[tridim]

16. What about botox?

Botulism on a plane can't be good.

[Warren Stupidity]

17. This is udder nonsense.

Sorry.

[Jim Sagle]

19. Moooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Red_Viking]

18. YOU control the scope of a bodily search

Something to remember! If airport security asks you if they can search your person, ask WHERE. They have to tell you where they intend to search you, and you can consent or not. If you don't consent and they want to search you anyway, they must turn you over to law enforcement who must have probable cause. You can definitely limit the scope of the search, by telling the security screener you'll consent to a search of _______________ (fill in the blank) ONLY. Ladies, you can stop the screeners from feeling you up, and men, you can keep them from squeezing your goods.

Of course, if you prefer that kind of attention, knock yourself out!

Peace,

RV

[pnwmom]

26. But if you don't consent, regardless of what else happens, can't they

still keep you from flying? So what choice do you really have?

[longship]

20. Breast cancer survivors are going to *LOVE* this.

I can't wait for this to hit the MSM....

Is this really true?

[SeattleGirl]

36. Yes, it is, and breast cancer survivers are some of the first

people I thought of. Some women did not have reconstructive surgery after a masectomy, and so wear gel inserts or gel bras instead. That the stupid NSA would BAN these is so freakin' ridiculous, I can't even find the words for how disgusted I feel.

[OzarkDem]

37. Usually silicone rubber, not gel

Most prostheses are made from more light-weight materials, but some are made of silicone rubber, not usually silicone gel.

When you have to wear them all day, every day, they have to be lightweight and easy to maintain.

Let's hope they don't make a big deal over silicone rubber, too.

[LynnTheDem]

23. FREEDOM!!! RAH! RAH! RAH!

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

It's so sad to see not only history repeating itself, but America standing on the wrong side of it.

[Sparkly]

25. Just wait until someone's found toting explosives in a body cavity...

You know, the "shoe-bomber" tries to light his loafers, and now we all have to take off our shoes.

The "plotters" this time were plotting liquid/gel explosives, and now we can't have liquids or gels.

So once a terrorist has something in a "body cavity," what will security checks become? :shrug:

[pnwmom]

27. Or in a feminine napkin.

[berni_mccoy]

28. FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

Apologies to those who don't like the F-word. I just can't believe things have gone this far.

[sam sarrha]

39. C4 inplants.. but would vanity prevent her from blowing them up.?

:nuke:

[sam sarrha]

41. it would take an hour and 20 lbs of salted ice to mix it, the sulferdixode

would have everybody on the plane puking in 2 minutes..

no other country even thinks that it could possably be pulled off.

fear mongering
