I saw a story today which touched on something I'd been thinking about for years. Apparently Islamic terrorists have been working on a way of turning a breast implant into a way to smuggle explosive liquids onto airliners. While that may sound like a joke headline from The Onion, it's really a scarry idea.
From relatively simple and innocuous ingredients, a highly explosive liquid can be produced.
This link to a BBC story demonstrates the devastating effect on a plane fuselage that such a liquid explosive could have:
