I wasn't actually referring to gel filled bra's or prosthetics (even though these again could be a potential terrorist means of getting explosives onto a jet liner) but the cosmetic breast implants. The whole logic of the ban on liquids and gels is put into perspective when potential terror breasts are brought into the equation. Potentially it could allow a female terrorist to carry a few kilograms of gel high explosives as breasts implants on board without any means of detection what so ever. The under wire of the bra could even potentially be rigged up as a detonator. If TSA officials haven't already been briefed about such a potential terror threat how would they deal with this threat of terrorist breasts.

You have quite rightly pointed out that any means of detection would be a gross infringement of personal and civil liberties and even then it would be almost impossible to detect even if TSA officials were given these rights to even order women on mass to remove their undergarments and have their breasts ultrasonically scanned for example before boarding the aircraft. Or could it be that the ban on liquids and gels is really just a red herring.
