After the London's Heathrow airport, major airports in India have been put on alert over intelligence inputs on possible attacks by women suicide bombers carrying explosives implanted in their breasts. As such, CISF personnel have been told to step up security checks on women passengers in the absence of full body scanners in Indian airports, said a newspaper report on Monday.
 The issue here however is of women passengers objecting to the increased checks and accusing the security personnel of violating their privacy. A top CISF official said in the report that they were trying to coordinate with international agencies on detecting such improvised explosive devices concealed in implants since there was no foolproof solution.
 The officer said it was a sensitive issue and women personnel had been told to alert as well as maintain decency. He said non-metal explosives embedded in breast implants are hard to detect with machines. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security is also working on the threat. According to a UK newspaper, Al Qaeda bomb-maker Ibrahim al-Asiri has apparently found a method to fool airport scanners by concealing explosives in implants.
